Body recovered at Anvil Draw

Divers helped recover the body of a Utah resident at Anvil Draw Sunday morning who died after falling through the ice.

The incident occurred Saturday when 59-year-old Rebecca Weston of Plain City, Utah, fell through the ice while riding an ATV. According to a release from the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office, Weston was part of a family group ice fishing at the Flaming Gorge. She was a passenger on the ATV with three other family members, all of whom escaped falling through.

Due to limited daylight, the recovery dive did not take place until Sunday morning.

The Green River Fire Department initially responded to the call with its ice rescue team. According to Fire Chief Mike Nomis, the team works in situations where a person has fallen through, but is otherwise above water. Nomis said they don’t help recover people who have drown.
