FT. MADISON, IA. — Fort Madison police and search and rescue teams have called off the search for a 22-year-old Keokuk man.

Around 2 a-m Sunday police received a report that Ray Charles Newell Dean of Keokuk had fallen through the ice along the Mississippi River, just west of Riverview Park.

Emergency crews searched the area by land and water. The search ended at 8:30 a-m.  The search was hampered by icy conditions on the water.

Dean’s body wasn’t found.  Police believe Dean was out for a walk when he walked out onto the ice about 100 feet off the shore.
