RedactedNarrative: On February 25, 2016, I was notified of a boat accident that occurred on the Fox River in early January 2016.   On January 4, 2016, at approximately 4:00 PM, Subject fell out of the canoe he was operating on Fox River approximately 300 yards south of Algonquin Dam.  He had struck a submerged object which caused his canoe to capsize.   Subject was wearing a Mustang PFD float jacket and was able to hang on to the side of his canoe.   After approximately 20 minutes in the water, nearby residents observed Subject in distress.  The residents called 911 and followed Subject''s direction to obtain a ladder.   Using a human chain on the ice edge of the river, two people were able to reach Subject with the ladder and he pulled himself to shore.   Lake in the Hills Fire and Rescue arrived on scene as Subject was being brought into the residence.   He was transported via ambulance to Sherman Hospital and treated for hypothermia and released after approximately three hours.  Subject made a complete recovery and was able to retrieve his canoe from the river in the 48 hours following the accident.  There was no damage to the vessel or any property. On 02/28/16, Subject was provided with the boat accident operator form.  EOR
