The Lucas County Coroner's office says a Whitehouse man drowned following a kayaking accident in the Maumee River Wednesday. 

William Fish, 54, was rescued from the west side of Granger Island near Waterville along with another man Wednesday evening.

Fire crews say Fish's kayak overturned in the fast churning Maumee, which is overflowing from weekend rains. Fish was taken to St. Luke's Hospital where he died early Thursday morning.

The other person kayaking was not injured.
