Posted: Thursday, July 16, 2009

BEMIDJI (AP) - Divers have recovered the bodies of two Little Falls men whose boat capsized on Blackduck Lake in northern Minnesota.

Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp says the body of 26-year-old Adam Joseph Bobick was recovered about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, followed by the body of 33-year-old Shawn Allen Ramsdell just before 3 p.m.

Two others who were in the boat were rescued Tuesday afternoon, and a dog that was on the boat was able to swim to shore.

High winds and stormy conditions on the lake forced officials to call of the search Tuesday night and bad weather continued to hamper the effort Wednesday.
