A 62-year-old Las Campanas man apparently drowned Sunday when he fell through the ice as he was trying to retrieve his two young dogs that had run onto the pond at the luxury development's golf course, state police reported.

Joseph B. Trujillo was walking with his wife, Marcelle, 62, and their two terrier pups along a cart path above the pond shortly before 11 a.m. when the dogs took off and headed across the frozen water, said Lt. Eric Garcia.

The couple called out to the dogs but they did not respond, and Trujillo pursued them for about 25 yards onto the pond. However, a large section of the ice gave way, and Trujillo fell through.

"He was completely engulfed in the frigid water," Garcia said.

A state police search and recovery diving team pulled Trujillo's body from the pond about 3 p.m.

Garcia said the water was about 8 feet deep and 36 degrees.

After seeing "only a glove floating on the water," Marcelle Trujillo also stepped onto the ice, Garcia said, but she turned back because of the risk from the cracking ice. She called 911 from a nearby home, and she and the neighbor returned to the pond, but there was no sign of her husband other than the glove.

Marcelle Trujillo was taken by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, Garcia said, adding that she was suffering from trauma but was expected to recover.

He said the dogs, believed to be Jack Russell terriers or similar dogs, returned from the pond and were safe at a neighbor's home.

Garcia said the Trujillos were Las Campanas residents, but their street address was not disclosed.

Joseph Trujillo's body was taken to the state Office of the Medical Inspector in Albuquerque to rule out foul play, but none is suspected.
