RedactedNarrative: The operator was located in the water holding on to the middle support of his capsized canoe. He was located by a passerby, pulled into a boat and transported to a public access. He had been located approximately 1.5 miles north of the public access (GPS Coordinates 48.0036.3, -92.3926.0). The incident was unwitnessed and it is unknown what caused the canoe to capsize. The canoe was equipped with a small motor and there didn't appear to be any damage to it. The man was last seen operating the canoe approximately 1.5 hours before he was found. He was wearing a Type III life jacket. He was suffering from severe hypothermia and unable to provide any information. He was transported to Cook Hospital and then airlifted to another hospital in Duluth. It is unknown if alcohol was a factor.
