On 6-15-10 I, Game Warden was notified by Denison PD of a possible drowning at Waterloo Lake in Denison, TX. I went and got my flatbottom boat and body drag and went to Waterloo Lake. I was met by Denison PD officer who advised that three teenagers had been canoeing when one of them dropped a paddle overboard. While attempting to recover the paddle the canoe capsized. The victim who was described as a very poor swimmer became imediately distressed. One of the passengers attemted to assit the victim but had to return to the shore to save himself when he became fatigued after struggling with the victim. The victim went under and didn't surface. I contacted game wardens who responded to my locatoin with a patrol boat equiped with a side scan sonar. At 6:36 PM the victims body was identified with the sonar and recovered a few minutes later with a body drag.
