CLEVELAND, N.C.

A North Carolina man has died after a riding lawn mower pinned him underwater for almost half an hour.

The Salisbury Post reported 53-year-old Genovevo Garcia of Cleveland drowned Monday at a farm where he was mowing grass along the edge of a pond. Farm owner Bill Russell says the mower tipped over and rolled into the water on top of Garcia.

Russell says he saw Garcia fall into the pond and drove his four-wheeler over to the water to help. But he couldn't move the mower.

Firefighters used a pulley system made of Russell's four-wheeler, a rope and a nearby tree to remove the mower.

Garcia was pronounced dead at Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville.
