Seems it that time of year in the Southern ice belt for another safety reminder.

Death is not with a couple of fish!!!

Chippewa County (WQOW) - The Chippewa County Sheriff's Office said the two men who fell into icy waters Sunday were pronounced dead at an area hospital.

According to a press release from the sheriff's office, the victims were a 33-year-old man from Bloomer and a 76-year-old man from Chippewa Falls. The sheriff's department said one of the men was fully submerged and trapped under the ice. The second man was partially in the water. Rescue crews tried CPR on both victims, and both were transported by ambulance to area hospitals.

The sheriff's department said they are still investigating the incident. The department advises everyone to be cautious on the water because of unseasonably warm weather.
