Event narrative (NOAA)
Strong winds on Lake Mead, near Kingman Wash, apparently capsized a small sail boat carrying two men. The exact time of the incident was not known, but was believed to have occurred during the afternoon or early evening. The Coroner's report revealed that the boaters, who were not discovered until the following morning, died from hypothermia and drowning.
