Description
A man believed to be in his mid-30s is dead after his kayak flipped on an ice-cold lake in Auburn, and the good Samaritan who tried to rescue him is now in critical condition.
911 dispatchers received the call around 5 p.m. Wednesday from Fivemile Lake, a small neighborhood lake in Auburn.
"It was a single person in a kayak-type vessel that overturned. People on the shore and other boaters saw that happen, and a person on the shore ran over, got into the water, went to perform a rescue, ended up struggling in the water," said Pat Pawlak, Division Chief and spokesperson for Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority.
