Press Release
Date: August 1, 2023
Adel, IA
On 7-31-23 at approximately 6:48pm, Dallas County Dispatch received a 911 call requesting for help for three individuals that were fishing at Moffitt Lake and were now in the water and struggling to stay afloat. A passerby stopped and helped two of the subjects out of the water. That passerby then dove to the bottom and pulled the third person out who had been under water for several minutes.
CPR was immediately started and the subject, a 14 year old female, was transported to Mercy Hospital where she later died.
An investigation is ongoing at this time, but no foul play is suspected at this time.
Responding units include the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, Dallas County EMS, West Des Moines PD, West Des Moines EMS/Fire and North Warren First Responders.
