A man was found dead on sunday after falling through a lake. The man had been skating on lake when it broke. Emergency crews located an adult male underwater about 600 yards from shore. Fire crews attempted to resuscitate the unconscious man what had been transported to North Memorial Hospital. This is where the man had later died. Hennepin county officials said the man had recently moved to the twin cities from another state. The man was found wearing ice skates and a camera around his neck. Officials are unclear on long the man was underwater.
This goes to show you that you can never be to safe when skating on ponds and lakes. Make sure to check and see if the ice is thick enough to stand on. Here is a good sight for measures one should follow on making sure a lake or pond is safe for walking or skating on.
