BIWABIK, MN (KDAL) – St. Louis County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to Trout Lake in the BWCA on Monday afternoon for a water emergency.
A 51 year old man from Morrison County, Minnesota had fallen out of a boat while fishing.
After several minutes underwater, passengers in the boat and other area boaters pulled the victim from the water, brought him to shore and performed CPR in an unsuccessful effort to revive him.
The victim was not wearing a life jacket and authorities remind boaters that personal floatation devices are critical especially as water temperatures remain quite cold.
