Missing San Francisco Man Found Dead After Kayaking Trip

The U.S. Coast says a 40-year-old father who went missing after his kayak flipped over was found dead.

The San Francisco father was kayaking with his 5-year-old daughter near a state park south of Sacramento on Sunday afternoon before the boat flipped over, causing them to go underwater. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, the pair was not wearing life jackets at the time of the incident.

Investigators say the father carried his daughter on his shoulders until a jet skier spotted them and rescued the girl.

According to authorities, the man went underwater again after his daughter was safe and did not resurface.

His body was found later that day.

The man's identity has not been released.
