HOT SPRINGS, S.D. (AP) An autopsy has confirmed drowning as the cause of death for a man who died while kayaking near Hot Springs in Fall River County.

Twenty-six year-old Jake Gulzow's body was recovered Tuesday.

His wife had reported him missing the night before after he didn't return from a kayaking trip to Cold Brook Reservoir.

Sheriff Jeff Tarrell says gusty winds from a thunderstorm likely led to the drowning.
