RedactedNarrative: On October 2, 2013, at approximately 3:15 p.m., three people were fishing out of a Bobcat pirogue on Twelve Mile Bayou in Caddo Parish. While fishing, at some point, the pirogue became unstable and capsized throwing all three subjects in the water. Two were able to swim to the bank of the bayou. Victim went below the water and never resurfaced. Victim's deceased body was recovered in 12 feet of water near the location of the incident. One subject was transported to LSU Hospital, where he was treated for exhaustion and released. Sgt. got a voluntary statement from him and the other occupant. The Bobcat pirogue was found to be 12 feet 4 inches in length. It was 40 inches wide, had a depth of 10.5 inches, and a safe carrying capacity of 340 pounds according to Bobcat's website. There were no PFD's in the pirogue. Four unopened cans of beer were found in the pirogue. In my opinion the cause of this incident was overloading, improper loading of the pirogue, and not having any PFD's on board.  Victim's autopsy report found that he had a BAC of .052% and a presumptive positive of marijuana.
