Posted: Updated:

State Police are investigating a drowning which claimed the life of a Benzie County man.

They were notified shortly before eight a.m. Sunday of the incident at the Glover's Lake public access site, in Pleasanton Township.

A witness had seen a man call for help in the water, but was unable to get to him before he disappeared into the lake.

When State Police arrived, they found a vehicle registered to 61 year old Kevin Bromstead of Benzonia.

The Manistee County Dive Team was called in and they located his body in about ten feet of water.

Troopers believe Bromstead's boat floated away at the shore, and he drowned attempting to retrieve it.
