Man dies after pond rescue in Noblesville

Man pulled from a retention pond has died

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — A man died Friday afternoon after being rescued from a subdivision’s pond north of downtown Noblesville, police say.

The man was identified as Zachery Polson, 35, of Noblesville.

Noblesville Police Department and Noblesville Fire Department were called just after 4 p.m. Friday to the pond near Windwood Parkway and Hague Road.

Lt. Bruce Barnes with Noblesville police says a 911 caller told a dispatcher that the man was standing atop the water fountain in the middle of the pond before jumping back into the water and not resurfacing.

A fire department diver found the submerged man, and he was taken to Riverview Hospital in critical condition. He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Barnes said in a release Saturday that Polson’s cause of death would be determined by the Hamilton County coroner.
