WATERVILLE — The victim of an alleged homicide Sunday at 119 Cool St. was Charles Bellows, 43, of Waterville, the Maine State Police said.

Bellows died of sharp force injuries, an autopsy Monday by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner revealed. Thomas Lowrie, 41, of Waterville, was arrested Sunday and charged in connection with Bellows’ death.

The Maine Department of Public Safety said Wednesday in a brief news release that the state medical examiner’s office identified Bellows as the victim and that the police investigation into the killing “remains active and ongoing.”

Thomas Lowrie

The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit worked Sunday at the house at 119 Cool St. after Waterville police requested assistance with the investigation, according to state police.

Lowrie appeared Monday afternoon at the Capital Judicial Center in Augusta on the murder charge, according to Lt. Aaron M. Turcotte, troop commander of the Maine State Police Central Field Troop. Lowrie is being held at the Kennebec County Correctional Facility in Augusta.

No additional information on the case has been available, as a police affidavit in support of the charges against Lowrie has been impounded from public view.

The property where the death was reported is at the busy intersection of  Cool Street and Kennedy Memorial Drive, just west of Messalonskee Stream and across Cool Street from the CVS pharmacy at 1 Kennedy Memorial Drive.

A neighbor who asked not to be named said earlier this week she thought two men have lived at the house for about two years, and they spent a lot of time outside the home, mostly working on bicycles.

Lowrie has a website, coolstreet.org, which bears his photo and says people know him in real life as Tommy Lowrie and online as musician Production Chimps. The website says he lives at a small house in Maine where he does recording, mixing and mastering music for affordable rates. He said he retired from construction work.
