The sheriff's office says 56-year-old Edward Chabot of Watertown and his wife were working to bring their pontoon to shore when the incident happened. Chabot was standing in the water and was working on the pontoon when he went under the water. Chabot was brought to shore where life-saving efforts were performed. Chabot was then taken to Hutchinson Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Meeker County Sheriff's Office was assisted by the Meeker County Community Paramedic, a DNR conservation officer, Dassel Rescue, and Allina Ambulance.
