STOCKTON — Two people reportedly died at Webster Lake near Stockton over the weekend in unknown circumstances.

Late Friday, according to locals at the scene, emergency response teams responded to a call of two people found unresponsive at the lake in a vehicle with Ellis County tags.

Both occupants later were declared dead.

It is unclear at this time who initiated the response, but locals reported that ambulances and police responded to the call, and efforts to save the couple were unsuccessful.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation and other area agencies are unable to comment. Calls to the KBI have yet to the returned.
