PORTER TWP., Pa. (EYT) — A Frogtown man died Saturday afternoon after falling into a spring water reservoir, authorities said.

Rescues crews were dispatched around 2:10 p.m. for a high-angle rescue along Champion Road.

New Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Company, Limestone Volunteer Fire Department, Distant Volunteer Fire Department, and Clarion-based State Police responded to the scene.

Clarion Hospital EMS was also dispatched.

Clarion County Coroner Terry Shaffer told exploreClarion.com that 63-year-old Robert Weaver, of New Bethlehem, was cleaning out a shallow spring water reservoir that was dug into a hillside when he leaned into it and fell.

The reservoir is about five feet deep, Shaffer said.

According to Shaffer, Weaver’s wife was looking for him and found him in the reservoir.

“The fire and ambulance service was of great assistance during this tragic accident,” added Shaffer.

Shaffer ruled the incident as an accidental death by drowning.
