Got this from Thorpie

For those who don't know yet. Ben Earle drowned in a terrible kayaking accident on a river near clearwater in BC canada yesterday. Ben and Adrian Kiernan were running the creek when Ben went under a log. Repeated attempts to rescue Ben Failed and he drowned.
Ben's life is a devastating loss, he was a true friend and a truly great kayaker.

Sorry to pass on such sad news..
