RedactedNarrative: On July 3, 2022 at approximately 06:08 hours, a partially submerged white ski boat was reported to law enforcement. The stern of the vessel was resting out of the water on a large log laying along shore. The bow was submerged up to the base of the windscreen. The only observable occupant was a male, slumped over the port gunwale, face down with his head and shoulders underwater. Emergency personnel arrived on scene and pronounced the occupant/operator deceased. 
  
  	The vessels windscreen was intact with no observable damage or point of impacts. The tow mirror was intact and facing down. The operators station had no observable damage other than 2 fasteners that were pulled out of the dash trim. A boat key was floating on a key chain behind the operators seat. The throttle was discovered to be forward at full throttle. A water ski was jammed into the hinge of the operators seat with such force it required 2 investigators to remove it. The propeller and shaft were bent starboard with the bracket for the shaft torn from the hull, indicating a significant impact on the port side. The bow of the boat sustained substantial damage from an impact on the port side, splitting the hull open to starboard. The damage to the bow allowed water to enter the hull slowly submerging the bow. A metal rod from the covered deck to the keel in the bow was bent starboard. Midway down the keel was a hole that went almost vertical up into the hull. Navigation lights on the bow were hanging by their wires and the stern stick light was found stowed on the port side.
  
  	Multiple items of clothing and broken pieces of fiberglass were discovered strewn about the shoreline and underwater from distances of 10-20 feet from the vessel. A passing vessel retrieved a seat cushion for investigators that had been found floating several hundred feet off shore. The log that the stern was resting on had approximately 8-10 feet of fresh scarring and the propeller was mangled indicating that it was still spinning when the boat and log made contact on shore. The logs root ball had evidence of freshly broken pieces from an object slamming the ball. 
  
  	The vessels resting place was approximately 250 yards directly east-south east from the exit of a private marina where the operator owned a condo, 2 boat slips and 2 ski boats. One green vessel and one white vessel. Approximately 20-30 feet  west of the vessel (toward the operators condo and marina) were 2 large rocks along the shoreline. These rocks had fresh scrapes and white fiberglass transfer on the surfaces facing the lake. Both rocks are above the surface of the water and visible from the lake. Multiple pieces of fiberglass were on the lake bottom at the base of these 2 rocks. 
  
  	The operator was not wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and there were no PFD''s observed in the vessel. An inflatable waist PFD was later discovered at the point of the bow, underneath the deck making it inaccessible to the operator. Several acquaintances described the operator as having extensive experience operating various watercraft. 
  
  	A broken glass beer bottle was found next to an anchor on the port side as well as a plastic Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) drink cup, located on the floor behind the engine housing. Another broken glass beer bottle was later discovered in the storage area in the bow.
  
  	A passing neighbor told investigators they had observed the operator taking the green vessel to a lake side bar and grill on July 2nd at approximately 1930 hours. The operators condo and the bar and grill share a small peninsula. The bar and grill has a marina on the west, while the condo has a private marina on the east. This neighbor identified the body at the crash scene and stated the operator was known as a drinker. 
  
  	The owner of the bar and grill left at 2300 hours on July 2nd stated that the operator was still on the premises. A bar tender and a patron were the last people to see the operator alive. This observation was
