Witnesses noticed a partially submerged boat across from the ramp and saw a red gas tank in the low head dam hydraulics.  The witnesses towed the boat to the ramp and found a body entangled in a chain used to secure the outboard motor to the vessel hull.  Identification was made of the body and it was determined there were two other victims missing as a result of the accident.  It is unknow what actually happened but the investigator theorizes that the vessel became caught in the swift current above the low head dam and went over the dam capasizing and ejecting the victims.  The outboard motor was found to have been in  "reverse" when the vessel was recovered.
