A 26-year-old man drowned after jumping from his boat into the Colorado River to retrieve his hat that had blown into the water.
Police identified the man as Kristopher Nathaniel Logan of California, who began struggling to swim and did not resurface after entering the river, according to a statement.
A dive team later recovered Logan's body, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said the incident appeared to be accidental and noted that Logan was not wearing a life jacket at the time.
The death has prompted officials to warn Colorado River users to wear recommended safety gear, including life jackets, regardless of their swimming ability.
Davis Camp, in Mohave County near the Arizona-Nevada border, is a popular destination for water adventurers, bird watching, and tourists travelling with campervans.
