The pair were last seen drifting several miles off shore just after 4:30 p.m. Thursday, according to a press release from the Anne Arundel County Fire Department that did not disclose the victim's identifies.

Anne Arundel Fire Captain Erik Kornmeyer said that, despite arriving within five minutes of the call, the fire dispatch was unable to reach the canoe."Currents were pretty fast, they moved out of sight pretty quickly," he said, adding that conditions were"rough and windy" Thursday night. "At approximately 7 p.m., an overturned canoe, matching the approximate description of the one which the pair were in, was located," the Natural Resources Police said.
