Victim and wife were traveling west from Eagle Point Marina Gas Dock to Hickory Creek Park. While en route, a line of strong thunderstorms moved in, creating large waves from the high winds. Conditions got worse as they made their way west, and approximately a half mile east of the I-35E bridge both occupants were tossed from the vessel. subjcet was able to make it to the south shorline closest to Tower Bay but the victim was overcome by the waves and drowned about 30-40 yards north of the shore that subject swam too. When we arrived on scene, the vessel was on shore, still in gear and the key in the on position, but the engine was off due to the fact that there was approximately a foot of water in the vessel, covering the battery. We also found 3 PFD's in the vessel that would have been in arms reach of the victim and the other passenger.
