On 11/13/2010 at approximately 12:30 Officer received a call from a witness stating he could see a capsized boat on Brown's Lake.  The caller stated he could initially see people near the boat but could not see them now.  Officer located the boat and observed 4 subjects in shallow water near a capsized vessel.  Officer observed multiple life jackets as well as a large number of decoys and other hunting equipment floating in the lake.  The owner of the boat stated they had been in the water about 10 minutes & had been waiting for help for approximately 20-30 minutes.  Owner also stated that a large wave came over the bow and swamped the boat which caused it to capsize.  Officer recognized that an 8 years old, was beginning to show signs of hypothermia.  8-year old occupant was the only one wearing a life jacket while the other 3 subjects were wearing waders.  Officer placed dry clothes on 8-year old occupant and transported him into his warm vehicle to the Wildlife shop to further warm him up.  When 8-year old occupant's condition was not improving, Officer contacted Salix Fire & Rescue  who transported 8-year old occupant to Mercy Medical Center where he was treated & released after 2 hours.
