An investigation showed that the ATV rolled over and Dedic was ejected from it. He was pinned under the vehicle in a water hole, officials said.

His son found him about half an hour later and called for help around 2:45 p.m.

Department of Natural Resources conservation officers used an automated external defibrillator to help provide CPR until first responders arrived.

Because of the rough terrain, a DNR patrol truck transported Dedic while authorities tried to save him.
