A 74-year-old man was rescued lifeless from the water in Lake Biel and died at the scene. The man was in distress near Neuenburgerstrasse on Sunday afternoon.
Third parties and emergency services pulled the unconscious man out of the lake and administered first aid. Despite this, the Swiss citizen died on the spot.
The Bernese Jura-Seeland public prosecutor's office is leading the investigation, as the Bern cantonal police announced on Monday. A medical problem cannot be ruled out as the cause, it said.
