COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities say a man whose body was pulled from a northern Idaho lake after disappearing during a boating outing with his wife died of an overdose of Benadryl.

The Spokane County Medical Examiner's Office in recently released court documents says 68-year-old Larry Isenberg had lethal levels of the drug in his body that was pulled from Lake Coeur d'Alene in March.

His wife, 64-year-old Lori Isenberg, told investigators he fell out of the boat. Lori Isenberg is charged with embezzling money from a nonprofit. The embezzling accusations became known about the same time her husband disappeared into the lake.

Lori Isenberg didn't show up for a June court appearance, and her whereabouts is unknown. A $500,000 arrest warrant has been issued.

Police have expanded their investigation to include family members.
