  INCIDENT:
  On June 13, 2019 around 1700 hours OPERATOR1 began kayaking on the Jordan River with his friend. The two men began kayaking at 7800 South on the Jordan River and had left a pick up vehicle at Utah State Fairgrounds parking area at the Jordan River North Temple river pull out. This section of Jordan River from 7800 south to North Temple is just under eight miles. Water conditions are hazardous due to high run off and spillway low head falls on river this time of year. FRIEND had more than 100 hours of kayaking experience along this section of river. OPERATOR1 had no kayaking experience at all. Both men had Type III life jackets.
  
  As the two men began kayaking the Jordan River, the water conditions were a little choppy and river was at a high flow but not swift water. As the two men came to 4654 S. Sunstone Road, West Jordan (3 miles into the kayaking run) they observed a two foot spillway or low head damn in the river (Attachment 1). As the OPERATOR1 kayak proceeded over the spillway OPERATOR1 capsized and became trapped in the spillway undertow with OPERATOR1 in the enclosed kayak. OPERATOR1 was unable to turn the capsized kayak over and exit the kayak. FRIEND was able to exit the river and walk around the spillway then enter the river to walk up to OPERATOR1. FRIEND used his paddle to dislodge OPERATOR1 from the under tow location. FRIEND took OPERATOR1 to the embankment and began CPR and activated 911 EMS at 1756 hours.
  
  Medical crews arrived on scene and performed advanced life support for OPERATOR1 and he was transported to Intermountain Medical Center by EMS. OPERATOR1 was pronounced dead at 1852 hours later at the hospital.
