North Shore Rescue and a paramedic pulled the man out of the water and tried to revive him but they were unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, a short distance away at Crown Mountain, two other hikers needed rescuing.

They were unprepared for the near zero degree temperatures and snow.

Fortunately, a helicopter was able to reach them.

Rescuers say both stories serve as a reminder to exercise caution and be prepared when hiking.
