PORTER TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A Paw Paw man is dead after he drowned in a Van Buren County Lake.
Deputies were called to Cedar Lake around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday after a resident on the lake said they saw a boat going in circles and a man in the water, yelling for help.
He attempted to help the man in distress but he could not reach him.
Emergency responders and relatives of the victim whom were boating on the lake pulled the man from the water, but he was not breathing.
Life-saving measures were attempted but the 37-year-old victim was pronounced dead at Bronson Lakeview Hospital in Paw Paw.
Investigators believe the man suffered a medical condition and fell out of the boat when he was alone on the water, but they are still looking into the incident.
They do not suspect anything suspicious.
