Businessman identified as parasailing victim
(2008-09-16)
(wnmu) - The name of an Upper Peninsula man who died in a parasailing accident in Houghton County has been released. Businessman Jeff Moyle, 30, of Chassell Township died Sunday afternoon after a strong gust of wind caused him to lose control of the parasail above the Portage Canal. He fell 50 feet and struck a parked tugboat. Moyle was attempting to parasail from the shore near a camp. He was the President of Moyle Construction in Marquette, which has 150 employees. © Copyright 2009, wnmu
