On 10/7/2012 at approximately 9 am located in a small backwater of the Wapsipinicon river, a small boat carrying three people  capsized throwing both men into the water,  Subject1 stated the 2 men were fishing when they decided to change fishing spots.  The victim immediately stood up on the boat which resulted in the boat capsizing & putting both men in the water.  Both men were wearing alot of clothes & were worried that the clothes might weigh them down.  They both tried to climb on top of the boat and were unsuccessful.  After a few a minutes Subject1 grabbed a life jacket that was floating by & swam to shore. He looked back & saw Operator go under the surface where they had capsized the boat. Subject1 knew that Operator was a good swimmer & didn't know why he didn't swim to shore & mentioned again about the clothes being really heavy and would make them sink  It is believed that Operator didn't make it to shore because of the cold water and trying to remove clothing instead of swimming to shore.  Operator was recovered without the boots he was wearing  & his brown bibs unzipped.
