Pueblo coroner identifies man who died in June 7 swimming accident at Lake Pueblo
The third apparent drowning at Lake Pueblo in less than a month was identified June 10 by the Pueblo County Coroner's Office as a 44-year-old Centennial man. Daniel Duane Strawn was found at Rock Creek Cove floating unconscious on the afternoon of June 7. He was pronounced dead on the scene despite life-saving efforts. CPW rangers responded at 2:11 p.m. to a report of an unconscious man, later identified as Strawn, who allegedly jumped into Rock Creek Cove because "they were hot," according to witnesses. Nearby witnesses who were swimming and water skiing soon saw Strawn floating unconscious, and with the help of a nearby boater, pulled him into a boat and began CPR before calling 911. CPW rangers arrived within six minutes, and one of the rangers jumped into the boat, taking over CPR on the victim. The boat drove to the North Boat Ramp, where CPR continued. A Flight for Life helicopter landed at the park, but Strawn was already dead. 'This death is under investigation, but it appears to be a tragic accident,' Lake Pueblo Park Manager Joe Stadterman said in a news release. 'We offer our condolences to the family and friends of this victim.' Stadterman said in the release that the death is especially troubling given all the recent efforts by CPW to raise awareness of water safety with park guests. CPW officers installed two life-jacket loaner stations at Lake Pueblo State Park where lake users can borrow a life jacket for free. The stations are located at the South Fishing and Sailboard areas. 'This is yet another heartbreaking loss of life,' Stadterman said. 'It underscores the message we have been stressing to recreate responsibly and to wear life preservers when on or near the water." Strawn's death is the third apparent drowning at Lake Pueblo since mid-May: Derrick Lee Vigil, 28, drowned when his fishing boat capsized at Lake Pueblo on May 30; on May 14, Manuel DeJesus Villanueva Miranda, 53, died after he went into the lake to help his two children and their friends as they struggled to swim in rough waters. None of the victims were wearing life jackets at the time of their apparent drownings, according to CPW. Wear a life jacket. Put a whistle on your jacket so you can call for help. Be aware of your surroundings — the water gets deep quickly. Be aware of the weather, high winds and storms can come up fast. Check your boat and all required boating safety gear. Avoid boating alone and tell someone where you are going and when you will return. Boat sober. Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in recreational boating deaths. Know that stand-up paddleboards are considered vessels in Colorado and require a life jacket on board at all times. Protect yourself from the dangers of cold water immersion and shock. Regardless of your age or experience level, cold water can quickly create a drowning emergency.

Fisherman who drowned at Lake Pueblo identified by coroner
A fisherman who drowned at Lake Pueblo on May 30 has been identified. Derrick Lee Vigil, 28, drowned when his fishing boat capsized at Lake Pueblo on May 30, according to the Pueblo County Coroner's Office. In a May 31 news release, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said two adults were able to swim to shore after the boat overturned in high winds, but Vigil initially could not be found. CPW was alerted to a capsized boat in Boggs Creek Cove around 8 p.m. Friday, according to the release. The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office and Pueblo West Fire Department responded with CPW to search for the missing angler, and multiple boats with sonar capabilities, an underwater robot, a drone to scan shorelines, and thermal cameras were used in the search. Vigil's body was recovered around 6:30 p.m. on May 31 by CPW's Marine Evidence Recovery Team and Lake Pueblo rangers after a nearly 23-hour search. CPW noted in its release that none of the three anglers were wearing life jackets when the boat capsized. 'Always wear a life jacket while boating, kayaking, paddle boarding and enjoying water recreation in Colorado. Lake Pueblo offers a free life jacket loaner station for any visitor,' CPW officials said in the release. 'Weather conditions can change quickly at Lake Pueblo with sudden, strong wind gusts, and visitors are encouraged to check weather forecasts before heading outdoors. 'Our hearts go out to the loved ones of the victim,' Lake Pueblo State Park Manager Joe Stadterman said in the release. 'Any loss of life in our state parks is a terrible day. We thank the responding agencies for their work and park visitors for their patience during the operation.' The man's drowning marked the second at Lake Pueblo in just over two weeks. On May 14, a man died at the lake's Sailboard Beach after he went into the lake to help his children and their friends after he saw them struggling to swim in rough waters. Wear a lifejacket.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is conducting a search and rescue operation after a possible drowning was reported at Lake Pueblo State Park's south fishing area. An initial call came in at 7:10 p.m. Thursday, according to Dean Miller, spokesperson for CPW's southeast region. Park boat patrol teams were on the scene Thursday night conducting a grid search with sonar, Miller said. CPW's marine evidence team was also on the scene with additional sonar and an underwater drone. "We will continue an active search as long as it takes," Miller said. If a drowning is confirmed, it will be the fourth at the lake in just over a month. The last was Daniel Duane Strawn, who was found at Rock Creek Cove floating unconscious on the afternoon of June 7. He was pronounced dead on the scene despite life-saving efforts. Prior to that, Derrick Lee Vigil, 28, drowned when his fishing boat capsized at Lake Pueblo on May 30, and Manuel DeJesus Villanueva Miranda, 53, died May 14 after he went into the lake to help his two children and their friends as they struggled to swim in rough waters.
