RedactedNarrative: The two victims went out over ice to open water in kayaks. The person in WC #1 capsized and was not wearing a life jacket, although there was one on board. 
  
  The person in WC #2 tried to help Operator #1, causing him to capsize. Operator #2 was wearing a life jacket. A witness on shore called 911 and then walked a boat out on the ice to help the victims. 
  
  He was able to get them out of the water, and then the fire department got them across the ice to shore. They were taken by ambulance to the hospital to be treated for cold water exposure. Both victims had been drinking, but no BAC was taken. Because the kayaks were less than 10 feet long, they were not registered. It is uncertain who the owners are.
