Sad but you just never know....things happen. Cold water kills. Doesn't say if he was wearing a flotation device or cold water gear.

A second man in the canoe survived the incident that occurred on Wednesday morning in Provincetown Harbor. The Coast Guard says a vessel owned by a local boat rental company pulled the men from the water, but paramedics were unable to revive one of them. The man's name was not immediately released. The surviving canoeist told authorities that the 12-foot vessel came in contact with at least one whale that surfaced. Investigators believe it was a pod of pilot whales -- or possibly dolphins -- that was in the area. The Cape and Islands District Attorney's office is investigating.
