A boating accident near the Burlington City Dam on the east side of Burlington resulted in the death of one man.
The Coffey County Sheriff’s Office said a 911 call at 7:30 p.m. Friday reported the capsizing of a small boat on the Neosho River. John “Scott” Massoth, survived the incident unharmed, but Michael “Mike” Myers did not turn up before police suspended the rescue operation amid “unsafe conditions.” Both men are age 53 and are from Burlington.
