A Mason City man has died while removing snow with a snowblower during yesterday’s blizzard. Emergency teams were called to the north side of Mason City about 10:40 Wednesday morning.

Seventy-year-old Gordon Kennison was found dead by someone passing by the residence. Cerro Gordo County deputy medical examiner Doctor Steven Betz says that Kennison died of a heart attack shortly before being found.
