Is it a possible pet rescue?
Based on the report, two men went into the house of the woman to check. They found her in a lake covered by ice and pulled her out of the water. CPR was performed and emergency assistance was requested. Sadly, the woman passed away in a hospital.
During the investigation, the police believe that the woman might have been attempting to rescue a dog. The police are trying to figure out if the dog entered the water and if there were efforts to retrieve it. However, this possibility could not be confirmed yet.
