March 12, 2014 (Ramona) – A kayaker found drowned at Lake Sutherland on March 1 has been identified as Leonard Kevin Jones, 57, a widower.  According to the Medical Examiner, dilated cardiomyopathy contributed to his death.

Sutherland went fishing at Sutherland Reservoir during stormy condtions. His overturned kayak, a cooler and a hat were found and an intensive search commenced.  It was halted overnight due to poor water but resumed the next morning, when San Diego Lifeguard  drivers found the body in the water.
