Wow! Already? Not sure what temps have been out that way, but this region near the Soo, the ice is no where near safe enough to run a machine.

At 71 you'd think he'd know better...at that age it's not usually a 'Hold my Beer Watch This" scenario..but who knows. Maybe a dementia issue.

Such a preventable tragedy, that seems to happen every year !

What possesses people to do this, happens every year. Sad moment for the family, why people have to push their entitlement to check their personal luck is beyond comprehension.

Very sad...

The ice just formed on our lake and already there's tracks across it. Temps are supposed to go up to 10 c on Thursday. Idiots are everywhere it seems.

A sad tragedy that happens far to often.

The victim was a well known Temagami resident and contractor who built many houses and cottages on the lake. With his years of experience on the lake, it's hard to understand why he was out on the ice.

Every year it’s the same story. It’s sad and absolutely preventable.

2 years ago I was on callander bay opening day and sure enough a white pickup thought he could drive on the ice. Made it out 300 yards before it broke through.
