The 3 victims were paddling in a canoe downstream in the Passumpsic River in an area they had not been before.  As they rounded a bed in the River, they encountered stronger current and rapids.  The current and rapids caused the canoe to capsize.  Two of the three occupants were able to swim to a rock and exit the River.  The third occupant was unable to hold onto the rocks and was pulled downstream.  An extensive 3 day search produced negative results.   body was recovered on May 02, 2013 near the area he was last seen in the Passumpsic River.
