I'll be damed
NOWATA COUNTY (KOKH)--According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a 61-year-old man died after trying to clear debris in a spillway pipe at his private farm pond in Nowata County.
Troopers say Stephen Goforth was pronounced dead just after 9:00 p.m. Friday night after trying to use his feet to clear debris from beavers in a spillway pipe about five feet under the surface of his pond.
Once the debris cleared, Goforth was pulled under and swept into the pipe and exited the other side of the dam.
Troopers say Goforth did not have a life-jacket.
