Parkdale Man Drowns In Hood River Marina Boat Accident

A 70-year-old Parkdale man drowned in a boating accident at the Hood River Marina on Friday evening.  According to the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, the sailboat Dennis Howe was on was in the process of docking in a slip at the time when he fell from the boat just after 6:45 Friday evening.  When Sheriff’s and Hood River City Police officers responded Howe had not resurfaced, even though multiple bystanders had gone into the water to attempt to find him.  The Skamania County Dive Team was called in to assist in recovery, but darkness fell before that could happen.  Howe’s remains were recovered Saturday morning.  The incident remains under investigation.  Anybody who may have witnessed the incident or have relevant information is asked to contact the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office.
