Ongoing investigation at this time 5/6/2010.  Two friends were out on a canoe when it tipped over about a quarter mile off the beach.  A person from shore reported seeing the men in trouble and called the police.  An assistant harbormaster and two workers from a nearby boat yard went out to the overturned canoe and pulled the men from the water and brought them to the pier.  Medical technicians attempted to revive deceased at the pier but were unsuccessful.  According to surviving man the canoe was tipped over by a pod of pilot whales.  This has not been confirmed and one of the rescuers reported seeing a pod of dolphins near the over-turned canoe.  Neither deceased or injured were wearing pfd's.
