According to an article posted by Seattle Times reporter John de Leon, a Shoreline man died in Okanogan County while swimming in Pearrygin Lake, northeast of Winthrop, Washington.
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers says Charles J. Covello had gone for a short dip Saturday afternoon in Pearrygin Lake when a witness saw him struggle and go under water.
Rogers says a diver and a snorkeler at the lake retrieved Covello after he had been under water 5 or 10 minutes.
The Wenatchee World reports two vacationing emergency medical technicians who happened to be at the lake performed CPR immediately but were unable to revive him.
