FORT RANSOM,Quaxs N.D. (AP) — Authorities recovered the bodies of two kayakers who were reported missing Sunday on the Sheyenne River at Fort Ransom, North Dakota.

The two kayakers entered north of Fort Ransom and were expected to join the rest of their family at a landing but never appeared, and the caller saw two kayaks under the Fort Ransom Dam, according to the Ransom County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office, Lisbon Fire Department and local fire and ambulance responded. Rescuers recovered one body 5 to 6 miles downstream on Sunday. They found the second body on Monday about a half-mile from the dam. The names of the deceased are expected to be released Friday.

The recovery of the kayakers’ bodies came after a 35-year-old Ryder man drowned Saturday while swimming in Lake Sakakawea near White Shield, KMOT-TV reported.
