So I wake up to this morning to people talking really loud and police/ambulance sirens sounding like they are roud outside my door. I go to look out my window and behind my condo by the pond is about 15 people (including police officers and ambulance). They were roping off a section of the wooded area behind my condo. Being only a 2 week resident of Lake Village in the Meadows, I was curious as to what was going on. My brother also was awake and decided to go down and ask them what was going on, since just the night before, he was down at the pond fishing.

The police officer stated that they did find the body of a 76 OLD Man half way in the water. I thought this was pretty crazy, and the first thing that came to my mind was if someone had been murdered and would I be a suspect? I guess that’s what happens to your thoughts when you watch to much Forensic Files. LOL. Anyways, come to find out from the story below, they believe the man had died of “natural causes”. I just can’t believe something like this would happen not even 2 weeks of me being in the condo association.

It’s sad to think that someone went for a walk or what not and never returned. He must of had a stroke or a heart attack and fell into the water. My thoughts go out to the family members and friends of Bert Berube. I original thought this was the Condo Association president but I guess not. I do know that the president was in the same area as the guy that passed, but I don’t believe it was him, otherwise I’m sure it would of been all over the news.

Quote from Herald Tribune

“Deputies suspect that a man whose body was found partially submerged in a pond this morning died of natural causes.

Bert Berube, 76, was a resident of one of the condominiums in the Lake Village section of The Meadows.

There is heavy vegetation around the pond behind Berube’s condominium, and a maintenance worker found his body about 8:30 this morning laying on the pond bank. His feet were on shore and the rest of his body was in the pond.

Near his body was a sign that had apparently fallen down.

A sheriff’s spokesman said deputies suspect Berube may have stepped back into the brush to fix the fallen sign, and had some sort of medical emergency. There are no signs of trauma on his body.”

So that concludes my off story today. Hope everyone enjoys reading. Thanks!
