On 7 SEP 2013, at about 14:30, operator allegedly jumped from his pontoon boat to retrieve a float toy that had blown out in an area north of Pine Island, on Lake Livingston, in San Jacinto County, Texas. According to his wife, the two had been cruising around the area when the weather turned bad and the wind picked up. The float blew out into the water and operator jumped in to get it. Wife said she threw a life jacket to him when it appeared to her that he may have had some difficulty staying afloat in the choppy water. She said the wind caught the life jacket and blew it away from him. Wife said her husband went under the water and never came back up. 
The body was recovered on 8 SEP 2013 by public safety officials from Polk and San Jacinto counties.
