Vail Mountain Rescue, Greater Eagle Fire Protection District, Gypsum Fire Protection District, Rock Creek Fire, Salvation Army, Bureau of Land Management, TriState Care Flight, Summit County Dive Team the Colorado Army National Guard, Alpine Rescue Team and the Eagle County Ambulance District all assisted with the search and rescue operation.

The search was suspended at 8 p.m. Sunday after an all-day operation beginning Sunday morning. The Colorado River is running very high due to record snowpack and spring runoff.

"Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this incident," according to a sheriff's office release on Sunday. Prevost was not boating at the time of the incident, but instead had entered a shallow area near the bank of the river and was apparently swept away.
