An Oklahoma graduate student and rodeo star was killed in a duck hunting accident over the weekend, authorities confirmed.

Jackson Williams, 24, died Sunday morning when he went to retrieve a duck in Sooner Lake and hit a drop-off, causing his waders to fill with water and weigh him down, the Oklahoma Game Wardens announced.

Authorities later used side imaging to retrieve Williams’ body from the lake floor, KOCO reported.

“Our hearts go out to Jackson’s parents and family, friends, co-workers, the 4-H’ers and producers he advised and his former OSU Rodeo team members.”
