A 51-year-old man died after falling into Trout Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area on Monday, officials said. Passengers in the boat dialed 911 at about 2:20 p.m. that afternoon on Memorial Day to report that the man fell into the water on the North arm of the lake, according to a news release from the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday. Sheriff’s deputies said that “due to poor cell phone reception, it took a period of time to ascertain from the reporting party” that the man was underwater for 2-3 minutes. The man, who has not yet been identified, was reportedly not wearing a personal flotation device when he was sitting in a “pedestal type chair” in the bow of a boat and fishing in the lake, according to a news release from the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday. The other boat passengers told authorities they “suddenly heard a splash” and turned to see the man in the water.
