WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police in Kansas say a woman has died after falling through ice on a pond while trying to retrieve her dog.
Wichita police Sgt. John Ryan said divers recovered the woman’s body from the pond in park on the city’s northeast side on Sunday.
She was identified Monday as 28-year-old Erika Owen.
Police say Owen was walking her dog when it spotted another dog and ran across the pond. She went out onto the ice after her dog. The dog fell through and also did not survive.
