The victim and his son were paddling in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). The wind blew their map out of the canoe and the canoe capsized. The Operator started having a hard time breathing in the water (and did have a history of heart attacks). The son (passenger) swam his dad to shore and was on shore an hour before rescue arrived. Life jackets were being worn and alcohol was not a factor.
