Vessel 1 was anchored in the boat overnight camp area approximately 20 yards from shore with two persons on board.  The Operator went below deck to sleep at approximately 9:30 p.m.; the Occupant remained above deck drinking alcohol and listening to music.  At approximately 7:30 a.m. the following morning the Operator came back above deck to find the Occupant missing; the Operator yelled for the Victim, looked in the water, and called the Victim's cell phone with no success.  The Operator then observed that Vessel 1 had drifted approximately 100 yards from where it had been anchored on the previous evening.  The Operator pulled anchor and returned to the orignal anchor site and upon arrival observed the Victim floating facedown in the water at the surface.  The Operator turned off the motor on Vessel 1 and jumped in the water, retrieving the Victim back to Vessel 1.  Another boater in the area assisted with bringing the Victim's body back aboard Vessel 1 where the Operator tried performing CPR for approximately 40 seconds while the other boater contacted 911.  Authorities arrived on scene at which time the Victim was pronounced dead and transported.  Investigation into the incident revealed no indication of foul play; it is suspected that the Victim fell overboard on the night of the incident, possibly due to being under the influence of alcohol
