An annual ice fishing tournament on Vermont's Lake Champlain has been canceled after the deaths of three fisherman on the lake since Thursday, an organizer of the tournament told CNN Sunday.

Wayne Alexander from Grand Isle, Vermont, died Thursday after falling through the ice, according to a release from Vermont State Police. The 62-year-old's body was found in the water hours after he was expected to return home. His truck was found at the park's entrance.
On Saturday, two brothers died after their utility vehicle broke through the ice, police said.
