Flower Mound Fire officials said the landscaper was mowing grass in the area and somehow ended up in the large body of water.
A witness who called 911 reportedly told authorities they tried to help pull the victim free from the lawn mower but were unsuccessful.
It took four firefighters to lift the mower and save the victim from entrapment, as the water was several feet deeper, fire officials said.
The victim was brought to shore, and medical personnel performed CPR and advanced life support interventions to save the landscaper's life. The individual was then taken to a local hospital and regained a pulse and blood pressure.
According to the fire department, the landscaper was transferred to another facility Monday night for more treatment but ultimately died Tuesday afternoon.
