GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - Authorities say a North Dakota man drowned in a pond about 14 miles southwest of Grand Forks.
The Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Office recovered the body of 23-year-old Andrew Torrey, of Grand Forks, at about 8 a.m. Sunday in the English Coulee Diversion Pond. Officials say Torrey was found in about 10 feet of water about 50 feet from shore.
The investigation began after kayakers reported seeing a floating mattress with a cell phone and fishing gear on it.
A preliminary autopsy report by the Grand Forks County coroner ruled the death an accidental drowning.
