CEDAR BLUFFS, Neb. (AP) - An 85-year-old man drowned after being tossed from his riding lawnmower at his home near Cedar Bluffs.

Saunders County Sheriff's deputy Bob Thorson says the body of Albert Kavan Sr. was discovered by his wife Thursday night.

Kavan was mowing his property a little before 8 o'clock.

Thorson says the mower overturned at an embankment, throwing Kavan into some nearby water, where he drowned.
