JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - Authorities have identified the two Idaho men believed to have drowned in a boating accident on Spiritwood Lake in southeastern North Dakota.

KSJB-AM reports authorities on Tuesday said they recovered the bodies of 23-year-old Damian Calzadias of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and 24-year-old Alonso Martinez of Twin Falls, Idaho.

The bodies were recovered Monday. The state medical examiner will conduct autopsies.



Authorities say 32-year-old Blake Roberts of Big Sky, Montana, was able to make it to shore after the men’s canoe capsized about midnight Sunday.

Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser says the victims were contractors from Idaho who were remodeling a lakeside home.
