The Victim was found lying face down in the back of Vessel 1, which was partially submerged.  Vessel 1 was over half full of water and was located (untied) along the shore behind the residence.  Mud was found on the front of the Victim's pants, although no injuries were observed on the Victim.  Lifejackets and other boating equipment were found in Vessel 1 and an oar was found in the water, approximately 10 feet away from Vessel 1.  The trolling motor on Vessel 1 had also been knocked off Vessel 1 into the water.  Vessel 1 was not secured to the shore but was located near a rope that was used to get in and out of Vessel 1.  It was reported that the Victim had taken Vessel 1 out for a test run with a new battery prior to the discovery of the Victim and the last observation of the Victim prior to discovery was the Victim operating Vessel 1 on the river approximately 30-40 minutes prior to discovery.  The Victim had a history of epilepsy/seizures and was on medication; it appears that the Victim had taken his medication as prescribed on the date of the accident.  There were no witnesses to the events of the accident.
