The Mono County Sheriff's Office says a Southern California man died after the fishing boat he was in capsized on Lake Mamie near Mammoth Mountain last Friday morning.Â
Deputies say 67-year-old David Sinklar Irmscher was in a 11 foot long metal boat with another man when the accident happened, just after 7 a.m. They say the boat capsized when the other man stood up to toss out the anchor. Â
They say that man made it to shore, but Irmscher had a difficult time swimming and drowned. His body was later recovered from the lake.Â
Deputies say the San Bernardino man have had a medical issue during the accident. An autopsy will determine an exact cause of death.
Responding agencies included the Mammoth Lakes Fire and Police Departments, Mono County Paramedics, Forest Service, and Mono County Sheriff/Coroner personnel.
