Hunter's Body Found In Pond
December 28, 2007

A Kewanee man is dead after an apparent hunting mishap in Peoria County Friday. Search crews pulled the body of 64-year-old Gary Zarvell from a Brimfield pond late Friday afternoon.

Authorities say Zarvell received permission to hunt geese on the property located in the 9-thousand block of Princeville-Jubilee Road. Late Friday morning the property owner noticed a capsized boat on the pond and notified the Peoria County Sheriff's Department. Investigators believe Zarvell went out on a rowboat to recover the geese and some how flipped the boat over and drowned. An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday.
