I know of one case of a sailboater coming upon an overturned kayak and
discovering
the kayaker still in the boat, hanging upside down with the spray skirt in
place.  I believe the accident occured in Maine about 6 years ago.

I never saw a writeup on the cause of death - heart attack or drowning...
