RedactedNarrative: On 9-4-12 at approx. 1:22pm, passenger called 911 to report her brother-in-law (victim) was missing in the water and gave their location.  She advised they had unloaded V1 at Bo's Landing boat ramp and traveled approx. 1 mile past the 412 bridge where they stopped and everyone got in the water to swim.  Other passenger/witnesses on V1 stated the victim complained of leg cramps once everyone was in the water.  Passenger advised he stayed with the victim until the cramping stopped.  He then advised that V1 had drifted away and once the victim stated he would be okay, he swam to retrieve V1.  Passenger was picked up by a passing boat and transported to V1.  Passenger then drove V1 back to where everyone was swimming and at that time he and the other passengers/witnesses/swimmers were unable to find the victim and that's when the 911 call was made.
  
  Responding Emergency personnel established a perimeter in the location and the WCSO Dive Team was called.  The Dive team located the victim's body in approx. 16 feet of water.  The body was sent to the Crime Lab for an autopsy.  No visible injuries were located on the body and cause of death was listed as drowning.  Upon inspection of V1 there was no evidence of alcohol on the vessel and no reason to believe alcohol was involved.
