RedactedNarrative: Authorities search for missing kayaker in Grand River
  2/27/18 - Lansing, MI
  Authorities say a kayaker is missing after reportedly falling into the Grand River in Michigan. Witnesses stated they saw the victim over turn in his kayak. Girlfriend stated the victim capsized before the bridge and last saw the victim 20 ft from shore. Due to the location of the incident the rougher waters aided in the capsizing. The Lansing Fire Department says rescue teams were told that the man fell into the water Tuesday evening near the Brenke Fish Ladder in Lansing. A search didn't immediately find the man, but the Lansing State Journal reports kayak and paddle were spotted floating down the river. The missing man's name wasn't immediately released. Boats and divers were used to search the water Tuesday. The search effort resumed on Wednesday. Fire department spokesman says "given the water level and the speed the river is traveling right now, we knew this was going to be a long, intensive operation." The river has been high due to rain and melting snow, causing recent flooding. Police say a body recovered from the Grand River in Lansing is that of a missing kayaker. Police identified the body Monday as that of 24-year-old. They say the medical examiner has ruled the death a drowning. The submerged body was located Saturday morning.
