This week, the police said that they had found the body of a man who went missing while ice fishing on a lake in Minnesota on Tuesday evening.
The man, whose name was Troy Allen Krenz and was 58 years old, went ice fishing on Cannon Lake in Faribault around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Faribault is about 50 miles south of Minneapolis.
The sheriff’s office said that Krenz’s family and friends started looking for him when he didn’t come home.
The sheriff’s office said in a press statement that the body was found floating in the lake by family and friends at 10 a.m. Wednesday. They quickly called the police.
The Faribault Fire Department and the Rice County Sheriff’s Office were among the first to arrive. They put on cold water suits and went into the open water to pull the body out.
He died in a “drowning incident,” according to the Rice County Sheriff’s Office. The office said it is working with the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office to find out what caused his death. The probe is still going on.
The sheriff’s office said that Rice County was in a blizzard alert from Tuesday night at 9 p.m. until Wednesday at 3 p.m. The weather service said that it would snow 7 to 9 inches and blow over 40 miles per hour during that time.
It was “a powerful winter storm,” according to the National Weather Service. There was a lot of snow, and gusts of wind from the northwest hit 50 miles per hour.
