A central Iowa man died over the weekend in a boating accident in southwest Iowa.
Ringgold County Sheriff Rob Haley says his office received a call at around 10:40 p.m. Saturday about Daniel Clint Ahrens, of Adel, who went missing during a fishing excursion on a rural farm pond near Ellston. Upon law enforcement and rescue crew’s arrival at around 11 p.m., a canoe was found upside down in the water, about 15-feet from shore.
Ahrens’ body was found about 40-minutes later, also about 15 feet from shore, in about eight feet of water.
