Man, 72,
dies after falling from boat
The body of a 72-year-old Wayne County man was
recovered from the Erie Canal in Macedon over the weekend after it is believed
that he fell from his boat into the water, according to Macedon police.
Macedon Police Department on Saturday learned that
Robin Mangold, 72, left his Quaker Road home in Macedon that morning to do some
work on his boat which was docked on the canal behind his house.
The man’s fiancée grew concerned when he did not
return home for lunch and called 911.
Officers searched for Mangold using a bloodhound
and a drone, both from the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office. Mangold's body was
recovered from the canal by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office Underwater
Recovery Unit around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Macedon police.
Officers continue to investigate. They have not
yet determined Mangold's cause of death, said Macedon Police Chief John
Colella. An autopsy will be performed this week, he said.
