Really strange no media coverage on this...
Either it was unsubstantiated report, or perhaps someone was out on ice, had a medical issue and had to be brought off the ice, and was deceased on arrival.
If it was a drowning, I would think it would be picked up by the media. Maybe tomorrow's news will have something on this. If indeed it is a death, condolences to the family.

Ice Fatality
Before everyone gets too worked up on 3rd word stories, there was a fatality in Wolfeboro that was caused by a head on collision. Maybe someone was jumping to conclusions. Story was in Friday's Union Leader.

Did someone die in that accident? Last I heard they were in the hospital. It looked bad!

Not confirmed but heard he fell on the ice and hit his head... Sad and way too young!

What an incredibly irresponsible thing to write. People need to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for their own actions. Are you suggesting that all actionable maneuvers that are legal should be embraced? You can ski near the edge of a cliff but I wouldn't condone it. Examples abound. Seriously, think before you type.

While I don't agree with the tournament taking place given the ice conditions, there were no fatalities that I have heard of directly related to it.
The one fatality was a freak accident, a fall on the ice. Didn't matter how thick the ice was, the outcome would have been the same. |

While I agree the tounament didn't need to be cancelled because it lends itself to other smaller bodies of water, times are changing. Accountability and responsibility are a couple things that are diminishing in society. People just plain do a lot of dumb things today that older generations didn't. I was up on Saturday and there were two trucks out on the ice southeast side of Chase island half way to #49. These guys drove there from 19mile bay beach. Not the brightest bulbs on the tree. Poor decisions are what lead to more seeming unneeded regulations but a sign of the times.
