Did 6 people die of hypothermia in Banff, 1982, by carefully lowering themselves out of their canoes into the water for some unknown reason and then being overcome by hypothermia? In the book, "A Walk in the Woods," Bill Bryson quotes another book, "Natural Acts" by David Quammen as such. I can find no other references to it on the internet.
