Oakland Co. Man Drowns After Falling Out Of Boat On Lake Orion: Police

LAKE ORION, MI — A Lake Orion man drowned Friday evening after he fell out of a boat on Lake Orion, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

Officials found 55-year-old Tonino Zaccagnini roughly 15 feet from shore in about six feet of water after his family reported him missing at 5:40 p.m. in the 600 block of Victoria Island, officials said.

Rescue crews pulled Zaccagnini from the water and began performing CRP, officials said.

Rescue crews then placed Zaccagnini on a nearby boat launch where paramedics continued attempting to resuscitate him, officials said.

Zaccagnini was then pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. An autopsy is planned and his death is still under investigation.

Zaccagnini's family reported him missing after they noticed some of his personal items floating in the water near a boat house, and an empty boat on the lake, officials said.
