The Operator of Vessel 1 was last seen leaving the yacht club with no one else on board Vesel 1.  The weather at the time was poor.  The Operator was reported missing by his wife later that evening, with the Coast Guard locating Vessel 1 the following morning.  Upon boarding Vessel 1, no one was found on board; waves that morning were at 6-10 feet.  Vessel 1 was seemingly intact upon discovery and was started and operated back to its dock at the yacht club.

Indications were that the Victim had left Vessel 1 voluntarily (back flap open and no signs of struggle), however there were no witnesses. 

The Victim was located in Rondeau, Ontario, Canada on November 13, 2011.  Preliminary autopsy results showed the cause of death as drowning, with no signs of trauma.

Autopsy results are pending and may not be received for 6-9 months due to backlog.
