Missing kayaker found dead in west-central Minnesota lake, sheriff says
WILLMAR, Minn. — The body of a missing kayaker from Kansas has been found in a west-central Minnesota lake, authorities said Tuesday.
The Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office said divers recovered the body of 39-year-old Shane White from Nest Lake, in rural Spicer, shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday.
A resident of Overland Park, Kan., White worked as an electrical lineman, according to social media posts by his wife, Kim, and was in Minnesota on a lineman job.
White was reported missing Sunday morning after he had failed to return to his vacation rental on the south side of Nest Lake. According to an initial news release from the sheriff’s office, White reportedly left the rental alone in a kayak around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Law enforcement began searching Nest Lake shortly after White’s kayak was found around 1:15 p.m. Sunday. The search continued Monday and Tuesday.
White’s body was located in the southwest corner of the lake, some 250 yards from shore in 11 feet of water.
The investigation into White’s death, including an autopsy conducted in the Twin Cities, is continuing.
