A man who fell through the ice Tuesday night while walking three dogs at Sand Creek Park in Aurora has died, rescue officials confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Aurora Fire Rescue first responded to the park at 2700 N. Peoria St. shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from the agency.
Firefighters rescued the man, who has not been publicly identified, and one of his three dogs from the pond, agency officials said.
Paramedics took the man to the hospital in critical condition, where he later died, Aurora Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Eric Hurst said in an email to The Denver Post.
One witness told rescuers that the man was walking near the ice-covered water with the three dogs. A few minutes later, the man and one of the dogs were both in the water. It’s unclear how the two ended up on the ice before they fell through.
The man who died will be identified by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
