Tragic Boat Sinking Claims One Life, Two Survivors Rescued in Lake Pueblo

One person has died and two others were rescued after a small boat sank on Lake Pueblo in Colorado. Witnesses and rangers attempted to save the passengers, but one individual, who was not wearing a life jacket, struggled to swim to shore and disappeared below the surface. The body and the boat were later recovered. This incident marks the 24th water-related death in Colorado this year and the first at Lake Pueblo in 2023. The sinking is believed to be a tragic accident caused by choppy waters and the weight of water in the boat.
