RedactedNarrative: At approximately 12:30 P.M. on March 24, 2019 a call was received regarding an overturned kayak on the Severn River. Sergeant responded via vessel to the scene. Once on scene the officers were able to identify a vessel towing a green canoe, which was the subjects’ vessel. 
      Sergeant followed the vessel to Annapolis Landing Marina. Once on scene the officers were able to identify the subjects from the canoe. Both subjects refused medical treatment while on the scene. The subjects pulled their canoe onto land and got a ride with the Good Samaritan to retrieve their vehicle at Jonas Green Park. While in transit there Victim supposedly began showing symptoms of hypothermia. The Good Samaritan then diverted to Anne Arundel Medical Center. 
      At approximately 6:15 P.M. I responded to Anne Arundel Medical Center for a vessel accident report. Victim explained that he and Occupant left from Jonas Green Park between 1:30 P.M. and 2:00 P.M. They headed upstream just past the Route 50 Bridge before turning back towards the park. Victim was the one paddling. When they reached just south of the Route 50 Bridge Victim stopped to rest. At that time they are not sure how, but they overturned and were not able to get back into the canoe. 
      Victim stated that they were in the water for approximately five minutes prior to being picked up by the Good Samaritan. Victim then stated that Occupant was given a blanket while he worked with the Good Samaritan to retrieve the canoe, oars, and seats. 
      Victim stated that both he and Occupant were wearing Personal Floatation Devices at the time of the incident. 
      No violations were noted, this case is considered closed.
  
  
   They advised that they put their canoe in the water at Jonas Green Park located at 2001 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd, Annapolis, MD. They advised that the kayak overturned in the river as they were “not too far” from land. They advised that they had a very hard time righting the canoe. They advised that they did have lifejackets on when they capsized. Victim advised that they saw the “Lisboa” traveling in the river. He waved his hands at first and then waved a canoe paddle to get their attention. The “Lisboa” came to their rescue and two people pulled them from the water and provided them with dry blankets. 
  
  They advised that they were not very scared at the time. Ofc and I explained that they probably only had 10 to 15 minutes of time before their bodies began to succumb to the cold water exposure, as the water temperature was recorded as 49 degrees, they looked at each other with concern. It was evident that neither Victim nor Occupant knew how dire their situation would have been if they didn’t have their life jackets on and if they chose to stay in place rather than self-rescue. Luckily, the “Lisboa” was in the area, as that was reportedly the only boat on the water at the time
