Posted

EVANSTON (WNE) — The Evanston Police Department responded to a call on Friday morning, Aug. 19, about what appeared to be garbage floating in the northwest area of the Bear Ice Ponds, according to a press release issued Monday, Aug. 29. 

“When officers arrived on scene,” the release reads, “they noticed an adult-sized tricycle lying on its side partially in the water of the pond. They then noticed an adult male floating face-down in the water with no signs of life.” 

The officers removed the body, which was identified as Brian Giovannoni of Evanston. 

The Uinta County Coroner took charge of Giovannoni and performed an autopsy.  The cause of death was ruled a drowning with underlying medical issues. 

The investigation is still awaiting lab results, and thus the case remains active, the release states.
