Brothers killed after ATV plunges through ice on Lake Magog

Two brothers died on Sunday after falling through the ice on Lake Magog in Quebec's Eastern Townships.
Réal Fréchette, 52, and Denis Fréchette, 59, were on an ATV near Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley when the ice underneath them gave way.
Witnesses said the ice was too thin to hold their weight.
One man in his 60s tried to rescue the pair, but ended up being hospitalized himself.
"I think he didn't even think about it ... it's truly heroic what he tried to do," said one local who witnessed the rescue attempt.
