RedactedNarrative: State trooper briefed me on what had happened, stating that the victims' boat was swamped because of the wake of another boat and that there were three people in the boat when it occurred, including victim. 
   
  I located a passenger in the boat that was swamped. Passenger1 was sitting down in the yard near all the emergency personnel. Passenger1 appeared to be very shaken up and was crying and shaking when i began talking to him. He described to me what had happened. He stated that he, his father in-law (victim), and a neighbor (passenger2) had come to the lake for the first time this year and were going fishing. He stated that they were in passenger2's boat. Passenger1 stated that he tried to talk victim out of going fishing that day because he had been having some health problems, stating that they had to physically help victim even get into the boat. He stated that victim was on oxygen, had copd, and has had a lot of heart issues. 
   
  I asked passenger1 to walk me through the incident. He pointed towards the north side of lake lemon and stated that they were moving east bound across the lake, parrallel to the shore. He stated they were approximately 40 yards from the shore when a blue boat that looked like a dredging boat operated past them in the same direction and in between their boat and the shore. Passenger1 stated that the wake created from the blue boat was large enough that once it reached their boat, it poured over the front of the boat where victim was sitting. 
   
  Passenger1 was sitting in the middle of the boat and Passenger2 was operating the tiller drive boat from the back seat. He stated that when the wake poured over the front of the boat, it flooded and all three passengers fell off the left side of the boat and into the water. Passenger1 said that all three of them had life jackets and that they were sitting on them as cushions. When they fell into the water, passenger1 said he was able to keep an eye on victim the entire time and that he did not physically go under water. He stated that all three were immediately able to grab their life jackets and hold onto them. Passenger1 said that he noticed victim was having trouble holding onto the life jacket, but was keeping his head above water. Passenger1 began trying to hold victim up, while holding onto the boat at the same time. He stated victim began to say he could not breathe and that he needed his inhaler. Passenger1 was trying to reach victim's inhaler, which he thought was in his front pocket. He stated he was unable to reach it because his feet were stuck in some of the lines from the boat. 
   
  Passenger1 stated that victim just stopped talking and his head dropped back. After that he said a boat showed up and grabbed victim out of the water. He stated that after that another boat showed up and helped him and passenger2 out of the water. I asked passenger1 how fast the boat he was on and how fast he thought the dredging boat was going. He stated that the jon boat that he was in was moving at a "very slow idle." he then stated that the dredging boat was not going much faster, but was probably going a "little more than idle." while we were talking i noticed a boat matching the description of the blue boat in question moving across the same portion of the lake where the incident happened. It was now moving west bound. I asked passenger1 if that was the boat and he stated yes. 
   
  I noticed the boat to be a crane boat used to work on boat docks, owned by the lake lemon marina on north shore drive. I then spoke to Passenger2. I asked passenger2 to describe what had happened. He pointed at the same area that passenger1 pointed out and stated he was operating the boat as passenger1 described. Passenger2 stated that he thought he was approximately 80 yards from shore when the other boat passed in between his boat and the shore. I asked passenger2 if he could point at something that is about the same distance away from us as their boat was from shore. He p
