RedactedNarrative: SUMMARY
  On May 25 at approximately 1304 hours a call came into dispatch about 2 men had flipped their raft in the Weber River. I responded and assisted Summit County Deputies and with the rescue. There were  inflatable kayaks in the group and people on board, 3 on one and 2 on the other. The kayak with 2 people had flipped and one passenger was able to make it to shore, the operator's foot was stuck on an irrigation diversion dam and could not get out of the water. The operator was freed after being in the water 30-40 minutes and CPR was conducted once rescue crews brought him to shore. VICTIM was transported to University Hospital in serious condition but later died from his injuries.
  
  INCIDENT
  I responded from Rockport State Park. I activated my lights and sirens traveling and headed to the area. When I arrived rescue crews were trying to help the man free. He was still conscious, breathing and alert. I helped tie off lines and hold lines as rescue crews worked. After approximately 30 minutes in cold water VICTIM fell unconscious and crews were trying to keep his head above water. VICTIM's leg and kayak were stuck in an irrigation diversion dam and a large log. 
  
  The irrigation diversion dam also created a rapid in the water which initially caused his boat to overturn. VICTIM was falling forward starting to lose consciousness, rescuers pulled back on VICTIM causing him and the kayak to come free from the irrigation dam and debris. The rescuer that was holding him up lost his footing and fell, the swift water moved him down stream. Rescuers tried to pull him up stream but couldn't and they started to let the rope out to try and bring him to shore below the rapid. VICTIM started to go down stream until a rope he was attached to caught some debris and he floated around at the rapid. The rope was promptly cut and he floated down stream and was taken to shore. VICTIM was barely breathing and foam was coming from his mouth. Rescue crews began to perform CPR, at this time a helicopter arrived.
  
  VICTIM’S SON and victim had taken 2 inflatable kayaks down the Weber River with 3 of VICTIM's granddaughters. VICTIM’S SON had two passengers with him and VICTIM had one passenger. All passengers were wearing life jackets. At a rapid VICTIM's kayak overturned and his leg and kayak were trapped. the passenger on the kayak jumped and VICTIM’S SON retrieved her from the water and took her to the same shore where he had taken his kayak and passengers. VICTIM’S SON tried to free VICTIM but was unable to until help arrived.
  
  Crews conducted CPR and VICTIM was transported to the University of Utah Hospital in serious condition. VICTIM was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital.
  
  Summit County Sheriff's Department case number is 20-L13683.
