Vermont State Police say the two men who died after their utility vehicle broke through the ice on Lake Champlain in South Hero, Vermont, early Saturday morning, were brothers.
The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife released an ice safety advisory later Saturday advising the public to stay off the ice on Lake Champlain this weekend due to unsafe conditions.
"Ice conditions on Lake Champlain are not safe for recreation. Do not go onto the ice on Lake Champlain this weekend," the advisory read."On inland waters, use caution and exercise situational awareness. Check the ice as you go. Leave vehicles on shore.", with high temperature records set in several places including Worcester, Massachusetts, Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford, Connecticut.
State police said emergency crews encountered difficult conditions on Keeler Bay on Saturday due to the condition of the ice. Multiple agencies responded for the ice rescue, including the Grand Isle Sheriff's Department, state police, Colchester Technical Rescue, the fish and wildlife department, Milton and South Hero rescue squads, and fire departments from Alburgh, Grand Isle, Isle La Motte, North Hero and South Hero.
Autopsies on the Fleury brothers will be conducted by the chief medical examiner's office in Burlington to determine the cause and manner of their deaths. State police say this incident appears to be an accident and is not considered suspicious at this time. An investigation remains ongoing.
