Minneapolis-area police issue thin ice warning after multiple people fall into frigid water
Officials in the Upper Midwest are warning residents of the dangers of venturing out onto frozen lakes and ponds after several people fell through the thin ice, leaving at least one person dead.
Police in the town of Woodbury, Minn.,, said two people, including a teenage boy, needed to be rescued after falling through thin ice on Markgrafs Lake on Monday.
Police said in a Facebook post that they received a report that someone had fallen through the ice around 4:30 p.m. local time, and when officials arrived at the scene, they were told a second person who had gone out onto the ice to help the first victim had also fallen in.
First responders were able to pull that person from the water, but the second person, who was identified as a teenage boy, had gone under the water and ice before they arrived and was not able to be immediately rescued.

To the north, police said the body of an ice skater from Duluth, Minnesota, was pulled from Woodstock Bay in Superior, Wisconsin, after he fell through the ice on Sunday night.

A search was launched, and police said his body was eventually located around 4 p.m. Monday.

Anyone venturing onto the ice should take proper precautions, such as using the proper tools and techniques to check ice conditions.
It’s always advised to use the buddy system and to let other people know your plans in case of an emergency.
