A park ranger lost his life in a tragic accident on Sunday at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota. The ranger, whose identity has not been disclosed, was responding to a distress call regarding a civilian vessel stranded on Namakan Lake.
While towing the distressed vessel, the ranger's rescue boat capsized in the rough waters of the lake. The ranger and three civilians on board were thrown into the water. Despite the civilians managing to swim to safety, the ranger did not resurface.
