RedactedNarrative: The victim was reported floating in the water face down near an overturned kayak. Lake country ems responded and pulled the victim from the water. The victims presumed kayak was observed 142 feet from the recovery location of the victim. The kayak was positioned vertically with the majority of the kayak underwater. The stern of the kayak was touching the bottom of the lake and the bow sticking out of the water. 
  
  When recovered, the kayak was found to be a 10ft sit-on-top kayak. The kayak appeared to have several after market modifications that may have affected its seaworthiness. Modifications included several drilled holes in the hull and several heavily weighted accessory items and attachments (marine battery, fishing tackle and trolling motor) , these modification combined with the victim’s body weight may have contributed to a scenario that compromised the kayaks seaworthiness due to overloading. 
  
  A pfd was not found on the victim, in the kayak or in the water in the vicinity of the incident.
