RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling south on Alum Fork of the Saline River below the Winona spillway during a high water event in excess of 2ft above the spillway gauge height. The victim traveled to a point along the river where he entered into flooded timber and rapids when V1 struck a tree, partially capsized and became pinned in the current against the tree. The victim was trapped inside the cockpit with his head downstream and he was unable to free himself. Two other kayakers made several attempts to free him but were unsuccessful. Rescue personnel arrived, however recovery of the victim was impeded until the following morning due to the terrain and hazardous water conditions.
  
  Blood was drawn by the coroner and submitted for toxicology testing - according to the Crime Lab the results could take 8 weeks or more due to backlog.
  
  UPDATE: 08/14/17 - CRIME LAB RESULTS RECEIVED. ALL RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE FOR ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUGS.
