RedactedNarrative: SUMMARY:
  
  On July 16, 2009 I responded to a drowning on the Provo River. The victim, subject 1, had rented tubes from High Country Rafting and was going to tube down the Provo River with her granddaughter subject 2. 
  
  Initial Call:
  
  At 16:47 hours Wasatch County Dispatch asked Wasatch County Officer Beza to respond to a medical below the Deer Creek Dam on the Provo River, dispatch also stated that medical had been paged. I informed dispatch that I would respond also.  As I was responding to the scene, dispatch gave a medical update. The update was that the victim was now unconscious and not breathing.  
  
  The vicsubject 1 was located approximately  .25 Mile from where High County Rafting had dropped  Subject 1 and her granddaughter subject 2 off. I arrived on scene at 17:03 I grabbed my rescue breathing mask and was guided to subject 1 by a bystander. When I arrived I noticed one person, subject 3  doing rescue breathing and another male was performing chest compressions. subject 3 stated that she was tired so I took over performing rescue breaths and two bystanders, subject 4 and 5, switched off doing chest compressions, until more advanced medical personal arrived and took over approximately five minutes later. I continued to assist medical personal until subject 1 was loaded into the ambulance. 
  
  Ranger  arrived on scene and I asked him to take pictures of the scene, he also gathered other witness information, temperature, and GPS coordinates.
  
  Wasatch County De Beza went to the other side of the river and met with the granddaughtersubject 2l.  After the ambulance had left deputy brought subject 2 to the other side of the river and he followed me down to High Country Rafting located on Highway 189 where a friend of the family, subject 6 was waiting.  subject 2 had given Officer her grandfather, subject 7's, phone number,  I called  the husband of victim and asked if he was able to respond to Heber Valley Medical Center. I explained to him there had been an accident on the Provo River that involved him wife.  I also asked him if I could release subject 2 to family friend until he arrived to pick her up. He stated that would be okay.    
  
  I collected the release waiver from High Country Rafting and spoke with  the employee for High County Rafting who was the first person on scene to find victim. 
  
  I also spoke  the bystander who had performed rescue breathing on subject 1.  Because of the exposure to  the victim she wanted to get tested for blood borne pathogens. I informed her to go to Heber Valley Medical Center to get tested. I then informed Heber Valley Medical Center that she would be coming by.  Heber Valley Medical Center billed the Department of Natural Resources for the medical testing. 
  
  
  Wasatch County Dispatch later informed me that victim had passed away and asked if I wanted to call a Medical Examiner I stated that I would.
