RedactedNarrative: The operator and his passenger were paddling down a swift moving river along the rapids where the canoe started to take on water. As the canoe picked up more speed it took on more and more water until it capsized. The passenger grabbed onto the operator but felt himself get heavy so he removed clothes so not to be weighed down then looked for the operator who was no longer in sight. The mother of the passenger saw the whole thing from a nearby bridge and called 911. NH Fish and Game spent four days dragging the bottom of the bay until recovery.  The operator was recovered deceased.
