RedactedNarrative: On 4/12/14 4 men set out for a canoe trip from Folletts Iowa to LeClaire Iowa.  The men traveled down the Wapsipinicon River to the Mississippi River. Once on the Mississippi River they stopped on an island next to the Wapsi river Day Marker 506.4.  The four men got back into the canoe, pushed off the shore, & paddled backwards into the channel to continue their trip.  When the canoe reached the channel current, water began coming over the rear side & capsized the canoe. The 4 men hung on and stayed with the canoe for a short time attempting to right the canoe.  Due to the current & the wind creating large roller waves, the men were unable to right the canoe.  
  
  Subject1 & Subject2 grabbed onto one PFD that was floating near the canoe & used it to swim to shore together.  Subject3 grabbed a piece of drift wood & used it as an aid to swim to shore. Subject4 stayed with the canoe  & continued to attempt to climb on the canoe. It is reported that the canoe filled with water & kept rolling as Subject4 was trying to climb up on the canoe  Subject1 said that he heard Subject4 yelling for help as he struggled to stay above the water. Subject1 put the PFD on and swam back to the canoe to help Subject4, but when he reached the canoe, Subject4 went under the water & was not seen again.  There was only 1 life jacket & alcohol was involved.
