Unfortunately, yesterday Jack, as he is known at the station to his close colleagues, passed away in a tragic incident. Nobody else was involved within the incident overall. It was an accident at this present moment in time. We are working with West Mercia Police to ensure that we can help them with the response to this incident. I would encourage anybody who did see the incident please come forward and contact West Mercia Police.

Across the whole of the service everybody is mourning and also across the whole of the country really, he added.
Lacie Borchert
MARQUETTE Friends and relatives of Lacie Borchert, the 25-year-old Ishpeming woman found deceased in a lake next to Excelsior Street in Ishpeming on Friday, Nov. 27, are still searching for answers.
While the Ishpeming Police Department has completed its investigation and ruled out foul play, those close to Borchert remain skeptical about the situation.
A series of demonstrations were organized and held Monday and Tuesday, with friends and relatives appearing at various locations around Marquette County to raise awareness on the case, including one outside of the Marquette County Courthouse.
“We are here (today) in a protest to fight for justice for Lacie,” said Maria Dahl, a close friend of Borchert’s. “We are here to find answers, to find facts and bring awareness.”
