Two people died and three others were rescued Tuesday evening when a vessel overturned in frigid waters near an island in Alaska where Netflix’s survivalist reality show Outlast was filmed.
The United States Coast Guard and other agencies were called to the overturned vessel near Chichagof Island at around 4:48 p.m., the Coast Guard said in a statement. A helicopter arrived at the scene at around 5:15 p.m. and the three survivors were safely recovered from the water around 35 minutes later.
The water temperature at the scene was measured at 44 degrees, and air temperature at 31 degrees, the Coast Guard said, adding that all three people rescued were taken to EMS waiting for the returning chopper.
