todayDecember 28, 2022

The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office says a 29 year old Neosho man apparently died after falling through thin ice on the Rubicon River.  Shortly before 3:30pm Tuesday the body was recovered from the river just west of state Highway 67.   The Sheriff’s Office says no foul play is suspected and the Medical Examiner is working to determine a cause of death.   Sheriff Dale Schmidt says all persons need  to use caution if going out on the ice.  Schmidt says while the ice may seem sturdy in some locations, it may break easily in others.   Schmidt says using the buddy system when going out on the ice is always a good idea as well as wearing a flotation device and taking other safety precautions.
