The vessel had severe damage to the bow as if it had struck and then rubbed against concrete (spillway). There were two type III PFDs and one throwable found with the vessel. The emergency cut-off lanyard was attached to the motor in operating fashion. It is unclear as to the events which lead to the vessel’s capsizing and the disappearance.
