At 5:55 a.m., (Witness2) called in to report that he had found a deceased body on the beach about 3/4 miles north of Libbey Road. Investigators found Operator2 (V2) on the beach just below the surf line. His kayak was located about 40' north of his location. The kayak was intact, full of water, sand, and gravel. 
  
  During transport, both Coroner and fire personnel observed another kayak about 1/2 mile south of the Libbey Beach Access. A search of the area discovered Operator1 (V1) floating offshore in his PFD.

  LE Findings: It is difficult to determine to the exact chain of events that caused the victims to fall overboard and separate from their vessels. Based on the manufacturers label, this type of vessel should only be used in calm weather and water conditions. It would appear that the victims, operating in separate kayaks, made several bad decisions that lead to this unfortunate circumstance.
