Tay Valley man drowns after ATV breaks through ice on Bennett LakeDecember 18, 2017Divers with the OPP found the body of 80 year-old Elmer Abercrombie of Tay Valley after his ATV fell through the ice on Bennett Lake on Saturday.
They got the call from family at about 9:00pm on Saturday night. They were concerned that he had not returned home after a day of ice fishing. They told police they saw a large hole and were concerned that his ATV broke through the ice.
Police have determined that is what happened.
Lanark County OPP members and the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit searched for the man and found him yesterday.
The tragedy serves as a reminder that in some spots the ice is not ready for people or vehicles such as ATVs or trucks to travel safely on.
You are advised to use extreme caution around the ice and water and keep a close eye on kids to make sure they don’t venture out on potentially dangerous ice surfaces.
