RedactedNarrative: On 1/3/2016 at approximately 2:30 pm, victim & occupant left the shoreline in a pelican plastic canoe to take photos of the house from the lake view. Leaving shore, the individuals broke ice using the canoe paddles to get to open water. they had no life jackets in the canoe or were not wearing any lifejackets. After paddling & taking photos for approximately 10 minutes they attempted to return to shore. When approximately 20 ft from shore they tried to turn the canoe to "nose up" (bow first) to the rocks (shore) instead of returning to the iced in cove that they departed from when the canoe turned broadside to the waves and wind.  
  
  At this time victim panicked & the canoe tipped upside down & both individuals ended up in the water.  Both individuals attempted to stay afloat by holding onto the canoe but eventually it was felt that the canoe was sinking so the occupant told the victim to try swimming to shore.  Both individuals struggled to stay above water & Occupant told victim to try & float on his back, which he did but eventually couldn't stay above water. Occupant was able to climb onto a shelf of ice & hold onto a tree limb before being rescued.  Body was recovered on 1/4/2016 at approximately 11:00 am
