Two Occupants launched Vessel 1 from shore Saturday evening (time unknown).  Occupant 1 entered the water from Vessel 1 to swim; shortly thereafter, the Operator entered the water from Vessel 1 to swim as well .  The distance both the Operator and the Occupant swam away from Vessel 1 is unknown.  The father of the Operator approached the area sometime later after hearing voices near the pond.  At this time, both the father of the Operator and Occupant 2 were unable to locate the Operator 1.  The father of the Operator then had the mother of the Operator contact 911.  

The Victim (Operator) was recovered by fire department personnel one hour after submersion; resuscitation was started and the Victim began breathing on his own at approximately 1:00 a.m.  The Victim was then transported to Metro Hospital via Life Flight; the Victim expired at 5:00 a.m. that same morning.

Occupant 2 was heavily under the effects of alcohol following the incident and had to be restrained by local PD.

Alcohol containers (both empty and full) were found aboard Vessel 1; no lifejackets or registration were found aboard Vessel 1.
