Incident Summary:
Area first responders and law enforcement were dispatched to the report of a possible personal injury snowmobile accident in the 3800 block of Mud Creek Road located in Eagle’s nest Township, south of Ely.
A reporting party called 911 to indicate that they were out with a male on a sled that appeared to be injured. A short time later the reporting party indicated that they believed that the male was deceased.
Upon the arrival of emergency services, a 70-year-old male was found lying deceased near his snowmobile. It appears the male was attempting to re-attach a sled he’d been pulling with his snowmobile prior to collapsing. There was no indication of the snowmobile being involved in any type of accident however, it did appear to have been stuck in deep snow prior to being moved to its current location, a short distance away.
This incident remains under investigation by the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office and St. Louis County Sheriff’s office.
