A Kentucky couple died Saturday in Idaho during a fishing trip to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
John and Vickie Fourshee were fly fishing around 9 a.m. in the Moyie River near the Twin Rivers Campground, the Coeur d’Alene/Post Falls Press reported.
The couple was trying to cross the Moyie River when John Fourshee slipped and fell. Vickie Fourshee tried to help but also ended up drowning, KXLY reported.
Friends of theirs pulled them from the water and were attempting life-saving techniques when a Boulder County Sheriff’s deputy arrived. Shortly after, medics arrived and continued to try and revive the couple.
“It was a lot of people trying to help,” said Andrew O’Neel, Boundary County EMS director. “Sadly they were not successful.”
They were on the trip to celebrate their June wedding anniversary, WKDZ reported.
