Tragedy struck on Saturday as a man lost his life in a paddleboarding accident on Carter Lake Reservoir, located just west of Berthoud. The Larimer County Sheriff's Office reported that emergency responders were called to the scene around 2:15 in the afternoon after receiving a distressing 911 call. Apparently, the man had fallen off his paddleboard and was nowhere to be found in the water.
The incident was confirmed in a news release by the sheriff's office on Sunday. The caller had reported that the man had not resurfaced and was not wearing a life jacket or tethered to his board. These details only added to the urgency of the situation. Emergency crews immediately began searching the area where the man was last seen, and finally, at 3:50 p.m., they found him in the water. Despite their best efforts to revive him, the man was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
At this time, the identity of the man has not been released. The Larimer County Coroner's Office will handle the official identification and notification of the family. It was a tragic end to what was supposed to be a fun day out on the water. Sadly, this was not the only water-related emergency that the sheriff's office had to respond to that day. They were called to multiple incidents involving paddleboarders, highlighting the importance of safety precautions and being prepared for unexpected situations.
