Eld. Roger Dale Gregory, 64, apparently drowned Wednesday afternoon, June 11 when the four-wheeler he was riding slid into a fishing pond.

The fatal incident happened sometime after noon on Wednesday afternoon. Gregory's wife said her husband, whose passion was fishing, rode his 4-wheeler down to the pond after lunch.

When Ms. Gregory checked on her husband later that afternoon, she found both the fisherman and the four-wheeler in the pond. Gregory suffered from Lou Gehrig's Disease and was paralyzed from the waist down.

Sheriff's Deputies and EMS personnel arrived on the scene about 4:30 p.m.



Gregory was pronounced dead on arrival at Macon County General Hospital, the victim of an unfortunate accident.
