PALISADE, Colo.—A 45-year-old man drowned Saturday afternoon in the Colorado River near Palisade.
The (Grand Junction) Daily Sentinel reports that the man hasn’t been identified (). He was floating with at least two other people down the Colorado River Saturday afternoon.
When authorities arrived, they found the man about 25 feet from the riverbank in less than 2 feet of water, where two of his companions were attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Emergency personnel were also unable to revive him.
None of the three adults was wearing a life vest, and authorities believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
