RedactedNarrative: The Owner/Operator (WC #1) and a Passenger were in the unregistered canoe on the river, harvesting wild rice. They got into an argument because the Passenger wasn't helping to rice. The Passenger tipped the canoe and they both went into the water. 
  
  Another canoe was coming by and helped the Owner out of the water and to shore. The Passenger, who by that time was sitting in the canoe, wanted to stay with the canoe which was upright but filled with water. 
  
  The Owner went home. The empty canoe was later seen floating down the river and was reported to authorities. A search was started for the missing man (Passenger). His body was found in the river the following day, just after 4:00 p.m. Life jackets were not being worn. Alcohol was a factor (unknown BAC for Operator). There was no damage to the canoe.
