FLORENCE, WI (WTAQ) – A Florence man has drowned after being pulled underwater by a cinder block.
Deputies responded to Fisher Lake Tuesday afternoon after witnesses reported that a 39-year-old man was swimming and attempted to move a cinder block on a raft.
They say the block was attached to a buoy and rope and the man’s foot became entangled.
Rescuers were able to pull the man to shore, but he was pronounced dead.
