clipped from: edition.cnn.com (CNN) -- An Ohio sheriff had harsh words for ice fishermen who had to be rescued Saturday after high winds and rising temperatures caused an ice floe to broke away and strand about 150 of them on Lake Erie.
People were stuck when an 8-mile-long chunk of Lake Erie ice broke away near Toledo, Ohio.
The incident, in which one person was pronounced dead after being transported to the hospital, came after the National Weather Service issued a warning that ice floes could break away from the main ice area in the western section of the lake.
At least some of those rescued were fishermen.
A spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard said the person who died fell in the water when the ice floe broke away from land.
