One dead after pedal boat sinks on southwestern Minnesota lake
Three passengers were on the pedal boat when it sank.
A North Carolina man drowned Sunday after the pedal boat he was aboard sank on a southwestern Minnesota lake.
The incident happened on Pearl Lake in south-central Jackson County, near the Iowa border.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, deputies went to the lake around noon after three people were reported to have been on a paddle boat that had become submerged.
Dominique Jones, 23, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, reportedly disappeared underwater and did not resurface, while the two others swam back to shore.
A jet skier dove into the water, but was unable to rescue Jones. His body was recovered by investigators a few hours later.
