A man kayaking in the James River near Belle Island fell out of his kayak 
and apparently drowned Friday. Police identified him as Garland Reece, 
49, believed to have been from the Tidewater area.
Reece fell into the water about 5:20 p.m. and was pulled out a short time 
later, police said. He was taken to Virginia Commonwealth University's 
Medical College of Virginia Hospitals where he was pronounced dead, 
police said.
