Victim apparently entered the water somehow from his canoe. He shouted for help upon entering the water and two men in boat,  along with a resident on shore, responded. The lake resident on shore paddled out in his canoe to the accident site, preceded by the two men in the rowboat. One of the rowboat occupants saw the victim's face about a foot below the surface. He jumped in and between the two rescuers they were able to get him aboard the rowboat. The rescuer from shore then climbed aboard and rowed the boat to shore. One of the trio called 911 from a cell phone. The operator assisted with CPR instructions while they were getting back to shore. A deputy arrived in his car and commandeered a canoe to help get the rowboat to shore faster. Once on shore, deputies continued resuscitative efforts, and made use of an automatic external defibrillator. EMS personnel then arrived and continued resuscitative efforts, but to no avail.
