PALOS PARK, Ill. — A 59-year-old suburban Chicago man apparently drowned while rescuing one of his dogs. Cook County Forest Preserve District Police spokesman Steve Mayberry says Vasily Fedorouk and his wife were walking their dogs along Horsetail Lake, near Palos Park. One dog became entangled in vegetation when it went into the water to retrieve a ball. Mayberry says Fedorouk managed to free the dog but became entangled himself. He was found in 6 to 8 feet of water and was pronounced dead Sunday at Palos Community Hospital in Palos Heights. An autopsy is planned. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
