The body of a Green River man who fell through the ice on Flaming Gorge and drowned was recovered late Wednesday morning. Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office Detective Dick Blust says 50 year old Kevin Holloway was ice fishing alone late Tuesday afternoon [December 20, 2011] less than 100 yards from the Gorge’s western shore some 16 miles south of Green River when another fisherman, Tim Isaacson, also of Green River, heard him calling out for help.
Blust says Deputies and Castle Rock Ambulance were dispatched to the scene, which was reached by a two-track road running east about 5½ miles from U.S. Highway 530.
The drowning took place just south of the mouth of the Black’s Fork, an area commonly called “The Confluence” about four miles northeast of the Buckboard Marina. Blust says the lake ice was uneven and does not yet extend from shore to shore at The Confluence.
Blust says the Sheriff’s Office investigation into Holloway’s death is continuing.
