Both victims went fishing in canoe between 3:00-3:30 p.m. according to one victim's mother.   At 5:10 p.m. a witness on shore saw boat and men fishing and then saw boat overturned (did not see it capsizing), and one person's hand out of the water. Witness immediately called 911.  When officers arrived, one tried to swim to area and dive for rescue, but turned around since the water was too cold and his swimming became hard.  Dive team was called in and one victim was located on bottom of lake.  Other victim was located on bottom of lake next morning.  Both victims were transported to the morgue at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, and family was notified.  Alcohol was not involved.  Boat was anchored when it capsized.  Unknown why canoe capsized.
