Man Dies in Reservoir
A Cooperstown, PA, man is dead after trying to retrieve a canoe in the Allegheny Reservoir near Kinzua Dam Saturday morning.
State police say 18-year-old David Sarber III, and a friend, were packing up their camp when their canoe drifted away from shore. Sarber jumped into the water to try to retrieve it, but then swam back to shore to take off his boots, jacket and two sweatshirts before going back into the water. He was overcome by the cold water before making it back to the canoe.
His friend traveled on foot several miles to the Docksider Restaurant, where he found two area hunters who gave him a ride to the nearest phone.
Volunteer water rescue and recovery personnel locate and retrieve Sarber's body.
State police were assisted by the Glade Volunteer Fire Department, McKean County Dive and Rescue Team, Glade Township Water Rescue, US Forest Service, Emergycare, Clarendon Volunteer Fire Department, Warren County Coroner's Office, Red Cross and employees of Docksider's Restaurant.
