An Ashtabula County woman was found dead in a pond after attempting to rescue her dog, according to the sheriff's office Tuesday.

Deputies said they were called to the victim's home in the 5000 block of Caine Rd. in Piertpont Township after family members reported not hearing from her since Friday.

The family of the victim - identified as Carol Beebe, 61 - went to the residence to check on her and discovered Beebe in a pond on the property.

Investigators reveiwed the surveillance system at the home and said it showed Beebe's dog fell through the ice on the pond, and she had fallen through the ice while attempting to rescue the canine.

A water rescue team from Geneva assisted.
