WENATCHEE – Fun on the water turned fatal in the Wenatchee River Tuesday. The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office says a 46-year-old Tacoma woman was inner-tubing with other people when she fell out of her floatation device near Barn Beach. Emergency Management’s Rich Magnussen told iFIBER ONE News on Wednesday, that the woman went underwater before she was able to get to shore. Attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
MEANWHILE…
Around that same time, Magnussen says a couple was canoeing on Lake Wenatchee when a heavy wind gust capsized their boat. Magnussen says the pair were in the water for 90 minutes before someone noticed them. Both were hypothermic when they were rescued.
