DULUTH,
Minn. - Authorities say a body found Thursday
afternoon on the north shore of Lake Superior was
that of a missing missing kayaker and former
Milwaukee school teacher.
Lake
County Sheriff Carey Johnson says Friday that the
medical examiner confirms the body is that of
48-year-old Douglas R. Winter. The official cause of
death has not been determined.
The
body was recovered just north of Two Harbors in the
Flood Bay area, roughly where searchers expected to
find it given the wave patterns of the past few
weeks.
Winter
was last heard from about 8:40 p.m. on Oct. 19, when
he called a friend to say he was two to three miles
from shore and the waves were getting bigger.
His
kayak washed ashore Oct. 20 in the Beaver Bay area.
