John Fleury was pulled out of the water and transported to UVM Medical Center, where he later died. Wayne Fleury was located still inside the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. “We have also canceled the ice fishing tournament. We really want to encourage people to not go out on the ice. Clearly it’s not safe. This is the second event we’ve had in two days. So ice safety is the most important thing,” said Christopher Herrick from Vermont Fish and Wildlife Dept.
Fire crews and Colchester Technical Rescue searched the lake for hours before finding the East Montpelier man. The South Hero fire chief said there are a few tools they use to ensure their crews stay safe while looking.
