A Redmond man died last weekend in a kayaking accident.

The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office said the 25-year-old man was seen kayaking without a life jacket when he went underwater this past Sunday.

Swimmers in the area, near the Leavenworth KOA on the Wenatchee River, tried to save the man and were able to get him to shore.

He was rushed to Central Washington Hospital, where he died.

The CCSO said it wants people to remember the waters are colder and more swift than usual and to wear your life jacket.
