A 55-year-old man and his dog have died after falling into the water at a marina next to the Ballard Locks on Sunday evening.
According to Kristin Tinsley from the Seattle Fire Department, the man was out walking his dogs at Lockhaven Marina, and had gone to his boat which was docked at the marina. When responders arrived, one dog was found swimming in the water, and Seattle Police Harbor Patrol divers were able to retrieve the man and his dog.
Tinsley says that despite about 30 minutes of life saving efforts by firefighters, he passed away at the scene.
