A worker died Monday after being trapped beneath a lawn mower underwater in a pond in Batavia, police said.
Batavia police responded around 9:06 a.m. Monday to the 900 block of Moorehead Drive for a report of a person who was trapped underwater in a pond, police said in a Facebook post.
Police, firefighters and the person’s co-workers helped pull the person out to the shore, police said. The person, who police did not identify, was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva and was later pronounced dead.
