Shawnee man dies while fishing at Shawnee Mission Park

October 13, 2008

A Shawnee man died from unknown causes Sunday while fishing at Shawnee Mission Park.

Capt. Terry Anderson of Johnson County Park Police said several park visitors in shelters saw Christopher Lisko, 31, park on the north side of Shawnee Mission Park Lake near shelter 7 and walk along the shore line to fish. The next time they saw him, around 3:45 p.m., he was face-down in the lake.

Park visitors’ attempts to revive Lisko with CPR were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead after emergency officials arrived. Anderson said the cause of death is unknown at this time, and though an autopsy was performed Monday, results were not yet available.

Do you do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

“We are all Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. My family won the best in family floats in Shawnee’s St. Patrick’s Day parade a few years back. We got to have a big trophy for the year. My sons love throwing out candy on the parade route.”
