Father and daughter drown in icy pond
The bodies of a father and his 9-year-old daughter were pulled from an ice-covered pond in Cedar Grove, Wisconsin, on Friday, hours after they fell through, authorities said.
Authorities suspect the girl fell through to the icy water while skating and her 44-year-old father fell through the ice while trying to pull her out, Sheboygan County Sheriff Michael Helmke said. The girl’s sister, 6, witnessed the incident and ran to a nearby house to get help.
Rescuers converged on the scene about 11 a.m. and recovered the father’s body from the pond about three hours later. It took another 45 minutes to find the girl.
The accident was the second of the day in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Earlier Friday police rescued an 11-year-old boy from a pond in Waldo after he went through the ice on his all-terrain vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.
