Authorities in Itasca County responded to a call Saturday afternoon that an ATV had gone through the ice on Rice Lake in rural Cohasset. When they arrived they found that two adults had been on the submerged ATV. One of them, a man from Duluth, was able to get out of the water and call for help, the Sheriff's Office said. The other, a woman from Cohasset, was believed to have drowned. Her body was recovered from the water by rescuers on Sunday afternoon. The Sheriff and the Itasca Country Medical Examiner continue to investigate the incident.
