RedactedNarrative: Two men were in a canoe. The operator was paddling while the passenger (victim) fished. They were heading to Cattail Island, which was .8 miles east of the cabin they were staying at. Neither were wearing a life jacket and there were none on board. They encountered high winds and large waves. They were more than half way across the lake heading towards the island when the canoe took on water and capsized. Both men were thrown into the water. They stood on the submerged canoe for a while, before they eventually tried swimming toward shore. The operator made it to the island, but the passenger never arrived. The operator thought maybe the passenger had tried swimming to the cabin. The operator was picked up from the island by friends in a boat. He learned that the passenger was not at the cabin and it was presumed that he had drowned. 911 was called. A search and recovery effort took place. The passenger was recovered from the lake, about 500 meters north of where the incident occurred, on 8/16/2021 when his body floated up. The operator admitted to drug use.
