Drowning In Kanawha County

{Mink Shoals, West Virginia}...Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies say 36 year old Darrell Crowder of Charleston was boating on the Elk River near the Mink Shoals boat ramp, just north of Charleston around 4:30 P.M. Friday when he was looking for his sunglasses and fell into the river, apparently suffered an asthma attack and went under water. He failed to resurface after about 10 minutes. Garreth Null, who was fishing in the river with his son, immediately called 9-1-1. Emergency crews pulled Crowder from the river and performed CPR, but he did not survive.
