David Lyons, 30, and Jackson Lyons, 4, die when ice fishing on Alderman Lake in Oakland County, Michigan

They fell into Alderman Lake about 10:37 a.m. Monday. They were rushed to a hospital after sheriff’s divers pulled them from the water, but resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.

HIGHLAND TWP. (WWJ) – Donations are pouring in for an Oakland County woman who lost her husband and young son in an ice fishing accident. David Lyons, 30, and Jackson, 4, were pulled by divers out of Alderman Lake in Highland Twp., north of Milford, after they fell through the ice on Monday. The ice on any body of water should be at least 5 inches thick in order to walk, skate and fish on it. Autopsies found both had drowned, and hypothermia also playing a role in Jackson’s death. Jackson was blessed to have such wonderful parents who loved him more than life itself.

Authorities identified them as David Lyons, 30, of Highland Township, and his son, Jackson Lyons. HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A man and his 4-year-old son died earlier this week after falling through ice while fishing on a small lake northwest of Detroit. A friend of David Lyons, who was also fishing on the lake that day, saw Lyons’ head briefly come out of the water, People reported. Witnesses started calling 911 about 10:37 a.m. after seeing the two fall into Alderman Lake in Oakland County. Cole cautions that no ice should be assumed to be safe — especially when temperatures have been in the 40s and 50s.
