The death of a 76-year-old man found in a pond north of Arthur on Thursday has been deemed non-suspicious.

Wellington County OPP say they and firefighters were called to the pond, on Concession 2 in Wellington North Township, around 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

They were told that a lawn mower had fallen into a pond, and its operator was unaccounted for.

The man was found after the pond was partially drained.

He has been identified as George Sauder.
