A man walking his dogs died after being pulled from an icy pond in Sand Creek Park, Aurora Fire Rescue said Wednesday.
Officials provided this account of Tuesday night's tragedy at 2564 Fitzsimons Parkway: "A witness called 911 after they saw a hole in the ice with a flashlight nearby and a dog in distress in the water.
"Firefighters wearing dry suits entered the pond and immediately rescued the dog. The dog was located approximately 20 feet from shore, and the water was 5-8 feet deep. "Firefighters used hand tools to feel for a victim under the water and quickly located the adult. Crews rescued the adult from the water and transported them to the hospital in critical condition." His death was announced Wednesday afternoon. South Metro Fire's diving team was called to check the pond to check for other victims. There were none. Two other dogs were found on shore.
