StumbleMan dies in kayak flipping
Thursday, March 16, 2000 | 9:42 a.m.
The name of the 48-year-old victim has not been released.
He was paddling about 150 feet off shore from Burnt Cedar Beach when the accident occurred Wednesday afternoon.
Another kayaker tried to rescue the man, but he had been submerged in about six feet of water for some 20 minutes by the time the U.S. Coast Guard arrived.
The Coast Guard and the North Lake Tahoe Fire Department attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation while he was being flown to Reno's Washoe Medical Center, but he was pronounced dead in the emergency room.
