On 04-08-2012. 5 occupants of a pedal boat were floating on Medicine Lake approximately 50 yards off shore. Due to weather conditions the boat began taking on water. Two occupants exited the boat and swam to shore. The remaining 3 occupants attempted to pedal to shore in the boat. As they were attmpting to get to shore it is believed that the boat rolled and the 3 occupants began to swim to shore. Two of the occupants were unable to swim and were having difficulty. One occupant attempted to assist them to shore, but became cold and had to leave them. A male and female drowned and three occupants survived. Sheridan County SO was called to the scene to recover the bodies. The female victim was found on 04-08-12 at 1753 hours and the male victim was recovered on 04-09-12 at 1722 hours.
