An 83-year old Syracuse fisherman fell through some ice yesterday and died. Conservation officers say Charles Miller fell through on the channel that connects Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake. Miller was about 30 feet from shore when rescuers arrived at about 11 o’clock yesterday morning. After a conservation officer pulled Miller from the water, Miller was pronounced dead at Kosciusko Community Hospital. Conservation Officers are warning you this morning to stay off the ice on area lakes.
