Occupants of V1 were fishing in a grove of cyprus trees on Plum Bayou.  V1 drifted into a tree while they were fishing and rested against it.  In an attempt to push off from the tree, the victim extended his arm and pushed away.  At this point V1 dipped low and took on water rapidly which caused Occupant 2 to be ejected from V1.  The victim was said to have left the sinking V1 on his own accord.  Occupant 2 made his way to a stump where the victim assisted him in getting a PFD secured on his person.  Subsequently Occupant 2 was able to make it to the bank approx. 40 to 50 yards away.  The victim was not able to get his PFD secured and was unable to make it to the bank.  The victim was reported to have been wearing hip boots or waders; however when his body was recovered he was not wearing hip boots or waders but was observed to be in socks only.  Victim was also attired in heavy Carhart type work pants.

Toxicology report results of the victim is pending from the Arkansas State Crime Lab.
