RedactedNarrative: Officer was dispatched to a reported overturned kayak in the Caribou River at 7223 HWY 61, with a life jacket attached to it, floating down the river. There was a vehicle parked at the lot with a kayak rack on it. They contacted the vehicle owner and found out it was the vehicle owner's son using the kayak, and the son is an inexperienced kayaker. 
  
  Search and rescue was called and a ping of the kayaker's phone indicated that he was in the area of the Caribou River. The kayak was located upside down in the river, below HWY 61 in an area with 30-foot cliffs on both sides. The kayak made its way into Lake Superior. A kayak paddle had been found upstream. The kayak was eventually pulled to shore and the kayaker was found approximately 100 yards south of the kayak, on the shore of Lake Superior. He had no pulse and was not breathing. He had been wearing a life jacket, and alcohol was not a factor. There was no damage to the kayak.
