"A young British kayaker who drowned in a swollen West Coast river may
have shared her equipment with her companions who earlier lost some of
their gear to thieves.

The 19-year-old will not be named until Greymouth police and Interpol
track her family in Britain.

Interpol had been called to help track the woman's family in Britain
before her name could be released."


As read on www.juniyakers.co.uk and Boatertalk.com

"Eleanor Rutter tragically died on the Crooked River out in New Zealand
yesterday."

That's sad. :-(
