A 69-year-old man from Georgina died Saturday after falling through the ice on Lake Simcoe.
York Regional Police responded to a call on Feb. 3 at about 2 p.m. after two men had fallen through the ice while riding an ATV at Duclos Point.
Police said both men were rescued, however, one of the men had suffered a medical emergency and was pronounced deceased shortly after.
York Regional Police continue to remind the community of the dangers of melting ice with temperatures rising and the ice becoming unsafe.
“Stay off the ice on Lake Simcoe,” York Regional Police posted on X last week. “A number of ATV riders and ice fishers had to be rescued off the lake.”
