A canoe occupied by two females struck a downed tree which capsized the boat. One female resurfaced and was able to get to shore and the other became trapped under the water and did not resurface. Each occupant was wearing a lifejacket at the time. The depth of the water was approximately 4-5 feet in the area of the incident. A river rescue team was able to get to the boat and dislodged it from the tree. The other female occupant was found deceased under the boat.
