OPERATOR AND PASSENGER LAUNCHED VESSEL AND WERE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE VESSEL STARTED.  THE OPERATOR SAT DOWN AT THE OPERATOR STATION AND ACCORDING TO PASSENGER STARTED "JERKING".  THE OPERATOR THEN COLLAPSED AND FELL OVERBOARD.  THE OPERATOR HAD A HISTORY OF SEIZURES.  THERE WILL BE NO AUTOPSY PERFORMED SO THERE WILL NOT BE A CONCLUSIVE CAUSE OF DEATH.  IT IS PRESUMED THAT THE OPERATOR ALTHOUGH UNCONSCIOUS WAS STILL BREATHING WHEN HE FELL OVERBOARD AND THEREFORE THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS DROWNING.
