Investigators say Labelle and two other men riding the ATV were on a fishing trip when the machine ended up in the lake.

The two men managed to escape to safety, while Labelle’s body was recovered hours later.

Police say this is the second time this week that someone has gone through the ice while riding on Lake Wosley.

They’re reminding people who venture out onto open waterways to be aware of changing ice conditions.
