2 Drowned In Blackduck Lake Found, Identified

BLACKDUCK, Minn. (WCCO) ― Divers recovered the bodies of two Little Falls men after their boat overturned in Blackduck Lake near the city of Blackduck Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office, four people and a dog were aboard the boat when it overturned.

Two people were rescued, and the dog managed to swim to shore, but the bodies of the other two people in the boat were not found until Wednesday.

Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp said the body of 26-year-old Adam Joseph Bobick was recovered about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, followed by the body of 33-year-old Shawn Allen Ramsdell just before 3 p.m.

High winds and stormy conditions on the lake forced officials to call of the search Tuesday night and bad weather continued to hamper the effort Wednesday.
  
Blackduck Lake is about 25 miles north of Bemidji.
