A beloved bar owner who had a 'warm heart' drowned in an Idaho lake, multiple news outlets and community members reported. Authorities responded to a drowning at about 4 p.m. Sept. 16 at Coeur d'Alene Lake in Rockford Bay, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. When they got to the lake, bystanders had pulled Aaron Robb from the water, deputies said. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Now family and community members are grieving his death. Robb was a longtime bar owner of the Iron Horse in Coeur d'Alene, which has been in his family since his father opened it 50 years ago, the Coeur d'Alene Press reported.
