RedactedNarrative: On February 17, 2013 at approximately 11:15 a.m. I received a call from the Smith County Sheriff's office about a sinking boat. I contacted the Villages Marina on Lake Palestine and they said two fisherman were buying bait and heard the distress call and went to assist. The boat was underwater. Two people were both in the water both wearing life jackets. Good sams pulled the individuals from the water about 800 yards South of the Villages Marina. Noonday Fire Department and EMS met the fisherman at the Villages Marina. At that time both were evaluated and EMS determined subject1 had mild signs of hypothermia. He was taken to Trinity Mother Francis Hospital and released in an hour. I interviewed subject2 and he said they headed south out of the marina and started taking on water over the transom. Another good sam called for help. I went out to the lake to get G.P.S. coordinates and picked up a tackle box, a cooler, and a paddle.
  Hull failure and heavy weather were causes.
