On Sunday March 17, 2013 around 3:30 PM, two people were in a flat bottom vessel in a private pond. They were in the act of fishing at the time. Occupant stated that, Operator was on the front of the vessel operating the trolling motor. Occupant stood up to reach for a fishing pole and the boat capsized. Neither subject could swim and there were no life vest present. Occupant said he heard Operator say get the boat and he grabbed it but could not hang on. He then saw Operator go under the water. Occupant tried to get to him but could not. He grabbed ahold of some tree tops in the water and was able to pull himself to the shore. Occupant then went to a nearby home and had them phone 911. The vessel submerged underneath the water. We were not able to retrieve it from the pond. 

Neither Subject could Swim. The location of the accident is on Campbell Road in the Thornhill Community of Marion County.

Alcohol was the cause of the accident.
