WESTPORT, Mass. — Two duck hunters died and a third was rushed to a hospital Tuesday after they fell into the frigid waters of the Westport River when their boat capsized.

Authorities haul an aluminum boat from the Westport River in Westport, Mass., Tuesday. Two of three duck hunters died after falling from the boat into the frigid waters of river.

Bristol District Attorney Sam Sutter’s office said Steven James, 53, of Marshfield and Robert Becher, 55, of Cromwell, Conn., died.

The surviving hunter was identified as Gregg Angell, 51, of Westport. He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, and is expected to survive.

The hunters’ skiff was found overturned at about 9 a.m. Tuesday, Westport Harbormaster Richard Earle said.

“It was cold, there was freezing spray, they had what appeared to be an aluminum boat about 16 feet long,” Earle said. “It was pretty choppy and icy.”

Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Simpson said the water temperature was about 35 degrees and the air temperature was about 8 degrees at the time.

Simpson said two of the hunters were found in the water, about half a mile from the overturned boat. The surviving hunter was rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter and had symptoms of hypothermia, Simpson said.

Lt. Mike Deal, pilot of the Coast Guard rescue helicopter that picked up Angell, told the Standard-Times of New Bedford that the Cape Cod-based crew saw the man on the bank of Corey’s Island in the river, waving his arms. Deal said he was “ambulatory” but “out of it” from hypothermia and needed help getting into the rescue basket.  “He could not give us his name,” Deal told the newspaper.

The district attorney’s spokesman said the deaths, which remain under investigation, are not considered suspicious.

Another man remains missing after a duck hunting trip in Fairhaven last week. Fairhaven police said the mother of Dana Dourdeville, 21, a Brown University student from Marion, Mass., found his car parked at West Island State Beach on New Year’s Eve. The Coast Guard found his kayak about 2 1/2 miles east of West Island.

LAKE SEMINOLE, GA (WALB) -
One of three duck hunters did not survive the capsizing of a boat on Lake Seminole Tuesday afternoon.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the body was recovered around 5:00 p.m.

17-year old Matthew Jernigan's body was recovered not far from where a boat he and his two classmates were in had an accident near Riverside Acres.

Boats from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources patrolled Lake Seminole in the extreme South west corner of Georgia after the boat accident.

The Sheriff says Jernigan and Pason Trawick and Thomas Vines are students at Southwest Georgia Academy in Damascus.

School was closed Tuesday due to cold weather.

According to the Sheriff, the boys went to retrieve their ducks when the boating accident happened.

Unsure if it capsized sunk or what but he says the boat was underwater when authorities arrived

Trawick and Vines swam to a nearby island and called 911.

Area farmer Brad Thompson used his helicopter to locate the two boys.

They were picked up by boat and taken by ambulance to Donalsonville Hospital There was no word on their conditions or if the two are still there.

Jernigan was last seen floating on a gas tank before his body was recovered.

难道是船被冰或者是水下倒木扎漏了？按理说铝船冬天用没问题，铝材本身的低温性能就很好。不明白。

打野鸭子用的平底小船其实安全性很差

估计是看到鸭子一激动都挤一边去了，结果船就翻了。
版上有个兄弟钓鱼用平底船也翻过，还好那时候不太冷，他又会水。

是啊，冬天穿得又多，搞不好还有什么waders，一入水就秤砣了。现在气温上来了一点，前几天那是刺骨的严寒，水温在冰点附近，在水里大概都撑不过10几分钟。所以划船出去还是最晚11月中旬比较安全。

此外，冬天水流比夏天明显tough，特别是在河流接近入海口之类的地方，冬天很危险。
