  	At approximately 2132 hours, Beaverhead (BVHD) County Dispatch received a telephone call from WITNESS 3, Reservoir Lake Forest Service Campground host.  WITNESS 3 advised of a possible drowning at the West side of Reservoir Lake.  WITNESS 3 advised an elderly male, VICTIM, was out on the lake when his canoe tipped over.  IT has been several minutes since last sighting, other campers were rowing out to look for him.
  	
  	At approximately 2133 hours, BVHD County Dispatch paged for Search & Rescue.  Game Warden (GW) heard the page and contacted BVHD Dispatch asking if they needed assistance.  Upon receiving the request for assistance, GW advised he would be responding to location from Clark Canyon Reservoir.
  	While enroute to location, BVHD Dispatch notified GW the VICTIM'S body had been recovered.  GW advised he would continue his response.
  	
  	GW arrived on scene at approximately  2247 hours, making contact with WITNESS 3, WITNESS 2 & WITNESS 1.  WITNESS 2 was the civilian responsible for the response and recovery of the VICTIM'S body.  WITNESS 1 was a female friend in accompaniment to the VICTIM.
  
   WITNESS 1 advised the following:
   
  	At approximately 2015 hrs, from the shore of Reservoir Lake, she watched the VICTIM paddle a kayak out to the west side of Reservoir Lake and begin to fish.  A short time later, WITNESS 1 walked back to VICTIM'S vehicle, parked approximately 100 yds from shore line drop off a fishing pole.
  
  	Approximately 15-20 minutes later, WITNESS 1 walked back down to the shore line to check on the VICTIM.  Utilizing binoculars, WITNESS 1 noted all she could see was the kayak floating upright with no sign of the VICTIM.  
  
  WITNESS 1 walked up the lake bank to a nearby camp and requested assistance.  The male occupant of the camp, WITNESS 4, utilizing WITNESS 2's binoculars, observed the kayak but no sign of the VICTIM.  WITNESS 4 asked WITNESS 1 if the VICTIM had a life jacket.  According to WITNESS 4, WITNESS 1 responded the VICTIM did not, there were 2 available back at the vehicle. WITNESS 1 stated "he did not need one yesterday, so he left them at the vehicle."	
  
  	WITNESS 4 advised WITNESS 1 to contact the Campground host for assistance as the host had a satellite phone and there was not any cellular reception in the area.
  
  	At approximately 2115 hours, WITNESS 1 came into WITNESS 3's campsite, campground host, asking for assistance.   
  
  	A male at WITNESS 3' campsite, WITNESS 2, asked WITNESS 1 if the VICTIM had been wearing a lifejacket.  WITNESS 1 responded by saying that he had not been wearing one and that the two lifejackets that they had were in their vehicle.  WITNESS 2 ran to WITNESS 1's vehicle, grabbed the life jackets, and got into a canoe and began to paddle out to the kayak.  WITNESS 2 reported that when he looked out toward the kayak the water was completely calm and he could not see any ripples where someone appeared to be struggling or swimming.  It was at this time that WITNESS 3 called 911 to report what was going on. 
   
  	WITNESS 2 rowed the canoe out to where the victim's kayak was.  He said that when he got to the kayak he saw the VICTIM floating face down and described the way he was floating as “the dead man’s float”.  WITNESS 2 pulled the VICTIM'S face out of the water to check for signs of life.  WITNESS 2 was alone in the canoe so he was unable to pull the VICTIM into the canoe with him.  WITNESS 2 grabbed the clothing of the VICTIM and paddled back to shore.  
   
  	When WITNESS 2 arrived back to the shore with the VICTIM, WITNESS 3 returned to the top of the hill to contact BVHD County to let them know that they had recovered the VICTIM'S body.  Advising BVHD County the VICTIM was deceased.  WITNESS 2 pulled the VICTIM'S body onto shore, put a life jacket underneath his head, and covered him up.  WITNESS'S
