Two people were found dead Wednesday near an overturned kayak in a private pond in east Fort Worth, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.
Firefighters and medical personnel were dispatched about 11:20 a.m. to a water emergency in the 3100 block of Cooks Lane, just north of U.S. Highway 180 between Fort Worth and Arlington.
Crews found the overturned kayak and two people in the pond, fire officials said. Medical personnel attempted lifesaving measures, but both were pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities.
The victims were approximately 60 and 20 years old. Their identities are being withheld pending formal identification and notification of next of kin by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Officials said it was not immediately clear what caused the incident.
