Man Drives into Chautauqua Lake, Dies
One man is dead after driving his vehicle into Chautauqua Lake this morning.
Sheriff’s deputies got a call at around 5:45 a.m. reporting the vehicle in the lake. They found it about 40 feet beyond the Bemus Point-Stow Ferry Launch submerged in about 4 feet of water.
The driver, 64-year-old Mark Swanson of Stow was removed from the vehicle and taken to WCA Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. They say it appears Swanson may have suffered from a medical condition prior to the accident, which is still under investigation.
Ashville FD, Bemus Point FD and the county's Water Emergency Team also responded to the scene.
