More details have been released surrounding a South Dakota state representative's death in a kayaking accident off the South Pacific island of Rarotonga.
Rep. Craig Tieszen, 68, and his brother-in-law, 61-year-old Brent Moline, borrowed hotel kayaks last Wednesday and paddled out around 9am into what is described as having been a tranquil lagoon. But as a Facebook post from Cook Islands Police explains, they became "caught in the current and they were dragged to where the waves were breaking."
