RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 Operator/Deceased and Vessel 2 Operator/Injured had been drinking alcohol at the Flyin Finn tavern (located at 3924 Hwy 47, Rhinelander) on the night of 04-09-16 and early morning hours of 04-10-16. Both left the tavern and each operated separate Pelican, Viper plastic kayaks which were both yellow in color and propelled by a double ended kayak paddle.  Neither possessed Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s) in their watercraft.  The wind had increased throughout the night coming out of the South.  It was reported that as they were crossing the Rhinelander Flowage from the west shore traveling towards the southeast to Vessel 2 Operator/Injured’s address that approximately 111 yards from the east shoreline Vessel 1 capsized.  Vessel 1 Operator/Deceased reportedly made it to Vessel 2 capsizing that craft and ejecting the operator into the water also.  The area where this incident occurred had the most exposure to the southerly winds and weather is believed to have played a factor in this incident.  Vessel 2 Operator/Injured was able to yell for help, was transported to Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rhinelander and treated for hypothermia and then released.  The Oneida County Dive Team was dispatched and attempted to locate Vessel 1 Operator/Deceased who remained missing at the time.  Side scan sonar was used to located the deceased at approximately 11:47 AM.  Weather conditions, suspected alcohol consumption, no PFD’s onboard are all factors that led up to the incident.
