From what I was told from someone at the scene, the accident occurred when the special needs person they believe had a heart attack at the dock and fell in the water. The other person, who was a senior and in very poor health, jumped in to try and save him and had a heart attack and never regained consciousness.
I do not want to mention any names as they have not been made public and out of respect for the family.
This is a very sad and tragic accident.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families involved...

I am heartbroken to hear this! We have a special needs son and cannot imagine a nightmare like this. Deepest sympathies and prayers for this family. If there are any charities enacted to assist this family, please post the details. The lake should only be a source of joy to all! Be well!
