The man who died after driving a vehicle through the ice on Lake Irving on Sunday has still not been identified.

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office says the man’s body was transported to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. His name will be released after confirmation by the medical examiner.

The man’s body was located around 6:30 Monday night with the assistance of an underwater remotely operated vehicle provided and operated by the Red Lake Department of Public Safety Conservation.
