Northwood father and son die in Minnesota accident

May 22, 2018 By Radio Iowa Contributor

A father and his young son from the northern Iowa town of Northwood are dead after a kayaking accident over the weekend in northern Minnesota.

Hubbard County sheriff’s officials say they were called to Hart Lake near Bemidji at about 1:30 Saturday afternoon after the report of an overturned kayak with two people that failed to surface. Emergency officials found four-year-old Micah Anderson in the water and administered CPR. He was flown to a hospital on the University of Minnesota campus, with Sheriff Cory Aukes saying the child was removed from life support Sunday night.

Searchers found the body of Micah’s father, 42-year-old Jesse Anderson, in the water on Sunday morning. Aukes says neither the boy nor his father were wearing life jackets while in the kayak.
