Officials say the victim fell overboard from the vessel while it was underway.  The other seven passengers on the boat noticed immediately he was gone and began to try to rescue him along with other boaters but were unsuccessful.  Body was recovered the next day July 20 at approx 10 am.
====================

Conclusion (from report submitted by Game Warden): It is my belief that the subject fell of the back of the boat and struck his head, possibly knocking him out, and drowned.  The operator admitted that he had been taking the boat in and out of gear to keep the boat off the rocks while the victim was defacating off the back of the boat.  I feel that alcohol and lack of safe operations contributed to the death.  Interviews state operator and victim were drunk.
