A Vassalboro man has been arrested in connection with a woman’s campfire death last spring.
Travis Mitchell, 31, was charged with manslaughter, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Liza Bragg, 46, of Albion was burned about 10:18 p.m. on May 5 while standing near someone as they tried to start a fire at D&R Campground on Pellerin Drive in the town of China.
Bragg was taken to a local hospital before being transferred to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where she died the next day.
A Kennebec County grand jury indicted Mitchell on Thursday, and investigators arrested him about 7 p.m., Moss said Friday morning.
