A 78-year-old man has been transported to the hospital after being found in a pond in freezing conditions on Sunday morning, authorities confirmed.

According to the Colleyville Police Department, at about 10:30 a.m., officers and Colleyville firefighters responded to a property in the 5000 block of Fry Lane after receiving a call concerning an elderly man who had fallen in the back pasture and couldn't get up.

When emergency responders arrived and helped the caller, who was identified as the man's wife, they found her husband unresponsive in a nearby pond.

The man, later identified as Barry Alldredge by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner, was taken to the hospital in critical condition, police said. 

Police have also not released the details surrounding how the couple came to need assistance.
