A Juneau man who was reported missing this week drowned several days earlier when his kayak overturned in a lake at the terminus of Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska State Troopers said.
Troopers were notified on July 11 that someone had found an unoccupied kayak on Mendenhall Lake, the agency said inTuesday. Troopers responded to the lake and took possession of the kayak and a dry bag attached to it. The person who made the report told authorities they didn’t see anyone in the vicinity of the kayak and that they had towed it to shore, troopers said in the statement.
Juneau police confirmed that the vehicle belonged to Rodriguez, they said, and they learned that he had last been seen by his roommate on July 10. Rodriguez had also made a social media post on July 11 that showed a kayak on a beach, Juneau police said. Troopers said they determined the GoPro belonged to Rodriguez, and a review of its footage showed that the man had drowned when his kayak overturned on the lake. Troopers believe he wasn’t wearing a flotation device at the time, they said.
