UNOCCUPPIED BOAT FOUND MOVING SLOWLY ON LAKE WITH TROLLING MOTOR ENGAGED. THE NEXT MORNING COUNTY DIVE TEAM SEARCH FOUND THE VICTIM IN 20 FEET WATER DEPTH WITH  A BOAT ANCHOR ROPE WRAPPED-ENTANGLED AROUND HIS LEFT LEG JUST ABOVE THE ANKLE. LATER INVESTIGATION RULED OUT FOUL PLAY AND SUICIDE. PRESUMPTION THAT INCIDENT WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT WHEN VICTIM LOST HIS BALANCE & THE ANCHOR LINE BECAME ENTANGLED AROUND HIS LEG AS HE FELL OVERBOARD. THIS FORCED THE VICTIM TO SINK BELOW THE SURFACE AND DROWN.
