Two men drowned Sunday while tubing in the Red Lake River in northwestern Minnesota, according to Red Lake Falls authorities.
The victims' names have not been released, but authorities say they're a 28-year-old man from East Grand Forks, Minn., and a 24-year-old man from Grand Forks, N.D.
Authorities say the men were among a group that was tubing on the river on Sunday evening. Investigators believe the men tried to retrieve some garbage in the water and became separated from their tubes. Their bodies were found about six hours later.
