In what may be evidence of a tragic accident or the most ingenious way to fake one’s own death, a GoPro camera that was once attached to the helmet of an Alaska kayaker who apparently drowned while kayaking on a glacial lake was found on a lakeshore Sunday. According to the Associated Press, the camera reportedly shows the kayaker, 43-year-old Paul Rodriguez of Juneau, rolling under the water but never coming up, with the camera being buffered by the rapid flow of water coming from the glacier.
The helmet with camera attached was found along the shoreline of Mendenhall Lake by a civilian and turned over to police Monday. A vehicle that was parked at Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area since July 11th has been identified as Rodriguez’s. But the man’s body had not yet been found.
