Reporting subject informed me that the individuals with the reporting party said that they had located the missing personal watercraft (PWC), but that the operator was not onboard when they located it. I was further informed that OPERATOR was not wearing a lifejacket (personal floatation device - PFD) when he went missing. I also learned from Box Elder Dispatch that the reporting party had the last sighting of OPERATOR at approximately 13:40. 

RECOVERY: The search continued until OPERATOR's body was found and recovered at approximately 16:51. OPERATOR was located at N41 21.720' W112 04.824' at a depth of approximately 10'. The body was transported to the Willard Bay State Park office where it was met by Deputy Medical Examiner. The body was photographed and documented (see case #201301674). It was then packaged and transported to the Utah State Medical Exami

It is assumed that the victim fell overboard in heavy weather.
