COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Department of Natural Resources believes that an overloaded boat may have helped cause a deadly accident on Mosquito Lake last month.

Daniel Khalil of Howland drowned when a boat carrying him and two friends filled with water and capsized.

The survivors tell investigators that their 16 foot aluminum boat was also loaded with three shotguns, 100 geese and duck decoys, as well as other equipment.

None of the men were wearing their life vests.
