COGSWELL, N.D. (AP) - Authorities say a man has died after he was pulled from a slough (slew) in southeastern North Dakota.
Sargent County Sheriff Travis Paeper (PAY’-pur) says 57-year-old William Vandervoort of rural Gwinner was with friends when they lost sight of him Sunday evening.
KFGO-AM (https://bit.ly/2srzvco ) reports Vandervoort was underwater in Kraft Slough northwest of Cogswell for nearly 20 minutes before he was found. He was airlifted to a Fargo hospital but died Wednesday.
An autopsy is planned Thursday. The sheriff says a medical condition may have been a factor in the death.
