According to the Clallam County Sheriff's Office, a 33-year-old man on the boat managed to hold onto a tree after it flipped, and called 911 while he was holding on for safety. He told authorities there were still two adults and one child in the water.

Medical staff, firefighters, the U.S. Coast Guard and National Park Service officers arrived as quickly as possible.

Rescue crews found Christian and Wyatt, but sadly they were both declared dead. Graham was not found and is still reported missing.
