Virginia Man Dies In Cascade River

GRAND MARAIS, Minn. (AP) ― A 20-year-old man from Minnesota's Iron Range apparently drowned on the Cascade River just west of Grand Marais.

Cook County authorities say the body of Victor Torrel, of Virginia, was found early Sunday. He was reported missing Saturday night after he failed to return from a fishing trip.

Cook County Sheriff's officials said Monday that it appears the incident was an accidental drowning. Officials are still investigating, but foul play is not suspected.

The Cascade River empties into Lake Superior near Grand Marais.
