A man in Day County has died after his snowmobile broke through a patch of thin ice on Bitter Lake.
Authorities began the search for the missing person on Sunday after being notified that the snowmobiler had not been heard from since earlier in the afternoon.
Several agencies, including the Day County Sheriff’s Office, South Dakota Highway Patrol, the GFP, and Codington County Search and Rescue begin looking for the man Sunday night.
The search resumed Monday morning. That’s when the man’s body was recovered.
Law enforcement has not released his name, but relatives on social media identify him as Ben Jorgenson.
