Aurora Reservoir Water Rescue

On April 22nd, 2024 at approximately 09:30 Aurora Fire Rescue and Rangers from Aurora Parks, Recreation and Open Space were dispatched to a capsized boat in Aurora Reservoir.  A park ranger arrived on scene first and found an unconscious man in the water near the scuba area. The ranger pulled the man from the water, took him to shore and began CPR. Aurora Fire Rescue and Falck arrived on scene shortly thereafter and assisted with patient care. Aurora firefighters combed the area looking for other occupants of the capsized boat. The South Metro Fire Rescue Dive Team was called to assist but was not needed once they arrived. No other occupants were located and Aurora Police Department advised that the patient passed away at the hospital.
