Authorities say a dive team has recovered the body of a 33-year-old fisherman who fell through the ice earlier in the northwestern Lower Peninsula.

WWTV/WWUP and The Grand Rapids Press report the body of Billy Platz of Mesick was found Tuesday, a day after he fell through ice on Hodenpyl Dam Pond in Wexford County. Authorities say a friend who tried to save him also fell through the ice but got out.

A search Monday at the pond about 25 miles south of Traverse City that included a dive team and a Coast Guard helicopter didn't find Platz.
