Sad News 8 paddle boarding men’s dead bodies have been just found after 29 days in water this in Canada due too,

man died at Quail Creek State Park after falling from a paddleboard Friday afternoon.

 

At around 4:30 p.m., 49-year-old Pedro Castillo from Cedar City was paddle boarding out on Quail Creek Reservoir with his wife and daughter, who were camping with him at the park. Strong gusts of wind began to blow, and the three paddle boarders were knocked from their boards. They were not wearing life jackets at the time of the incident.

 

A Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation law enforcement ranger was nearby and was able to immediately respond upon seeing the paddle boards blowing away. The ranger and a bystander who offered his help boarded the ranger’s boat and were able to get the wife and daughter on board safely, but found Castillo face down in the water. Upon getting Castillo onboard the boat, CPR efforts immediately began. It is estimated he had been face down for approximately 30 seconds before help arrived.

 

Life-saving efforts continued at the boat docks with help from additional rangers from the Utah Division of State Parks and Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation. Life flight was also dispatched and arrived. Unfortunately, Castillo was not able to be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 5:17 p.m.

 

The Utah Division of State Parks extends our condolences to Pedro Castillo’s family and friends. This incident remains under investigation at this time. We would also like to thank the additional responding agencies that assisted, including the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Hurricane Valley Fire and Rescue, and Intermountain Life Flight.
