DETROIT, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say a 72-year-old man who was hospitalized after an aluminum boat capsized on Detroit Lake has died.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office says two men and a woman were thrown into the water Wednesday after one of them stood up, causing the 15-foot boat to overturn.
Other boaters came to their aid, and an off-duty firefighter performed CPR on Chester Correll of Corvallis until a rescue helicopter arrived. Authorities say he died Wednesday evening at a hospital.
