PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Although an autopsy is pending, police say alcohol is believed to be a factor in the drowning of a man in Calhoun County’s Pennfield Township early Sunday morning.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were sent to Clear Lake around 1:30 a.m. for a possible drowning.
Deputies were told that a 40-year-old St. Joseph man wanted to cool off and go for a swim. Eventually, his family couldn’t hear him anymore, began looking for him and called 911.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office dive team, as well as the Pennfield Fire Department and the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi Tribal Police were called to the scene to look for the man. His body was found a short time later.
The drowning remains under investigation.
