One man died and another was hospitalized after their boat capsized Sunday night on Hoover Reservoir.

The men were out fishing around 8 p.m. Sunday on the reservoir when the boat capsized, according to Genoa Township officials.

The man who had been in critical condition died from his injuries. His name has not yet been released.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is investigating the incident.

What is Hoover Reservoir?

Hoover Reservoir, located off of Sunbury Road near Westerville, encompasses more than 4,000 acres, including a lake that is frequently used for boating and fishing.

The park also includes options for picnics, bird watching, a disc golf course and hiking. The parks spans both Delaware and Franklin counties.

Hoover Reservoir was initially built as a water supply facility in 1955 by the city of Columbus.

You have no idea how fast 30-40 degree water takes the fight out of you. I remember losing my breath like I had the wind knocked out of me by Mike Tyson. It was incredible how fast the shock of that cold water put me in a bad place.

I don’t think people realize what that cold shock does to the human body, the facebook ice bucket challenge isn’t realistic to being submerged in ice cold water.

It was impressive.
