The man and woman were in their boat’s stern and apparently breathed in exhaust from its engine, the newspaper reported.

Sheriff’s deputies were called over to the boat at about 4 p.m. Sunday, where they had to perform CPR on the woman because she wasn’t breathing, according to The Tribune News.

Both the woman and the man were transported by ambulance to Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton.
