A Mason City man was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa after he was found floating in Clear Lake Tuesday night, June 21.

At 9:26 p.m. the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office responded to McIntosh Woods State Park in Ventura on a report of someone floating in the lake.  Boaters found George Baker, 85, of Mason City, unresponsive and in the water.  Baker’s boat was located approximately 300-feet from shore, unoccupied.

“Wow, what a morning!” proclaimed Clear Lake Bait & Tackle co-owner Chris Scholl on his business’ Facebook page.
