Sprague ― An autopsy has confirmed that a Norwich woman and her young daughter drowned in the Shetucket River in Sprague on Tuesday The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has ruled the deaths of Kelly Dora, 39, and her daughter, 5-year-old Aralye McKeever, to be accidental. State police said the two were swept down river on Tuesday by fast-moving currents in a river swollen by recent rains. Dora's 8-year-old son watched the events unfold from the riverbank, one witness said. Police and fire personnel were called out to the area of Park Drive in the Baltic section of town at 5:25 p.
