Victim, wife and friend were in canoe, fishing.  After they had traveled for a while they determined that the canoe was not stable enouhg with all three subjects in it, to fish, and they had turned back towards the boat launch, so that wife could get out of the boat, and the victim and friend could go back out fishing.
Friend/passenger moved quickly to do something that capsized the canoe.  Operator/victim was appeared to panick.  Wife and frien d tried to keep him above water, even though he could swim.  But victim kept dipping under, while they moved closer to shore.
At shore CPR was administered, but victim was pronounced dead in the hospital.  There  is also a suspicion of alcohol.  None of the occupants of the canoe were wearing PFDs.  Nor any PFDs in boat.
