A rescue operation became a recovery effort after one person fell through the ice in Green Bay late Friday night.
Green Bay Metro Fire Department responded to East River at Quincy Street for reports one person fell through the ice.
The victim submerged and could not be found during a search that lasted 40 minutes. The effort was called off once crews determined the victim could not have possibly survived the frigid temperatures.
A recovery effort Saturday did not lead to the recovery of the body; the search has been suspended without a plan to resume, a fire department official said.
"We have not had temperatures cold enough for solid ice development especially on rivers with strong currents," the Department said in a media release. They're warning the public to stay off the ice.
