Indian River Man Dies After Cooling Off in Cheboygan River

Posted: Updated:

Police say an Indian River man who jumped into a river to cool off, has died.

Joseph Quick died Tuesday at a Petoskey Hospital.

Quick jumped in the Cheboygan River for a dip last week near Washington Park.

Witnesses say he swam to the other side, but when he started swimming back he went under.

People jumped in to save him, and pulled him to the river's bank.

He was taken to McLaren Northern Michigan in Petoskey and admitted to the intensive care unit.

He passed away Tuesday.
