Teen Found After Canoe Capsizes at Lake | Omaha News

Tragic discovery: 19-year-old Wyatt Bernal’s body was found Saturday morning at Wehrspann Lake after his canoe capsized Thursday night. Search efforts, involving multiple agencies and paused by weather, resumed and succeeded thanks to persistence. One other person in the canoe escaped unharmed. Authorities are investigating the cause, including whether life jackets were worn — a critical safety factor, as drowning victims often go under near safety. Nebraska Game and Parks mandates life jackets for all watercraft users and urges checking gear before heading out.
