Vessel #1, with three persons on board, was launched onto the Little Maimi River at Loveland, Ohio and began travelling downstream.  Approximately 20 yards from shore, Occupant #3 (the fatality) began rocking the canoe, then fell off the starboard side of Vessel #1.  Occupant #3 then stood up in the river and attempted to reboard Vessel #1, causing Vessel #1 to capsize, and putting the two remaining Occupants into the water.  Occupant #1 swam to the shore with no assistance; Occupant #2 remained with Vessel #1 and was able to reboard Vessel #1 downstream.  Occupant #3 was not seen again until his body was retrieved by divers at approximately 2032 hours.
