BAY CITY, MI - A Flint-area man has died after the boat he was fishing in capsized on Saginaw Bay amid a late-night storm.
At 11:38 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, police and rescue personnel responded to a report of three fishermen in the bay near the mouth of the Saginaw River in Bay County’s Hampton Township. They later determined a 12-foot boat had contained three Flint-area men.
“The waves kicked up as the storm came through and the boat got swamped,” said Bay County Sheriff Troy R. Cunningham, adding the three men had not fished in the area before.
The boat capsized and one of the three men who had been aboard, age 35, swam to shore for help, the sheriff said.
Bay City Public Safety personnel deployed two boats from Smith Park and the U.S. Coast Guard launched a boat from its station in Essexville. Rescue personnel eventually found a 30-year-old man in the water and brought him to shore.
Responders then found the third man floating near Channel Island and brought him to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources boat launch. Though CPR was administered, the man was pronounced deceased at 12:35 a.m., Cunningham said.
The deceased has been identified as 56-year-old Thomas R. Klatt. He is the father of the 35-year-old fisherman who swam to shore, the sheriff said.
The two survivors were taken to an area hospital and have been released, the sheriff said.
The Hampton Township and Essexville public safety departments and Michigan State Police troopers also assisted sheriff’s deputies, Bay City public safety officers, and Coast Guard personnel.
