One man is dead after a fishing boat capsized on the Mississippi River, sending him and two others into the water on Tuesday morning.
The Wright County Sheriff’s Office says it was alerted to a capsized boat on the river near the Xcel Energy Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant just after 10:30 a.m.
Two of the three men made it safely to shore from the water, but the third was found unresponsive in the water and was brought to shore by Xcel Energy staff, according to the sheriff’s office. First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead by medical personnel.
