FROSTPROOF, Fla. — A man drowned Sunday afternoon in Lake Clinch, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) said.
Sheriff Grady Judd said deputies, the PCSO marine unit, and representatives from Frostproof Fire Rescue responded to reports of a possible drowning.
“We received a call of a man drowning in Lake Clinch,” Judd said. “When we arrived, he was already underwater. We worked diligently and we found him. Unfortunately, we couldn’t save his life.”
The man’s identity has not yet been released, pending further investigation and family notifications.
Additional details will be provided as the investigation continues, according to deputies.
After a tip from a concerned homeowner near Lake Kissimmee, the Tampa Bay 28 I-Team is pulling back the curtain on Florida’s multi-million dollar gator trade—the farms, the hunts, the designer handbags—a system where even the state takes part in the cut.
