RedactedNarrative: I received a call from Marine Trooper on October 18, 2017 at 1311 hrs. advising me of a possible drowning on Lake Guntersville.  Tpr.1 gave me the number of the Assistant Superintendent at Lake Guntersville.  I contacted Ast. Sup. who advised me that a passing motorist had stopped at the Lake Guntersvile Fishing Center located on Town Creek and reported seeing an unoccupied boat and what appeared to be a body floating near it.  
  
  The observation was made while crossing over Town Creek on AL Hwy 227.  Supervisor arrived on the scene at approximately 1250 hrs. and confirmed the observation. Guntersville PD, Guntersville Rescue Squad and Marshall Medical Ambulance Service were notified.  Supervisor and Ranger recovered the body and got it to the shore.  Marshall Medical Ambulance Service arrived on scene 1310 hrs.  Guntersville P. D. Officers arrived on scene at 1310 hrs. and began the investigation.  
  
  The body of the victim was recovered and turned over to the Marshall Co. Coroners Office and transported to Carr Funeral Home in Guntersville.  I arrived on scene 1637 hrs.  The victims family was notified.  The victims truck and boat were towed to the maintenance department at Guntersville State Park by Lake City Towing.  The boat and truck will be stored there until the family can take possession of it.  
  
  The victims brother stated that the victim had a history of heart problems.  According to Chief Deputy Coroner "victim appears to have suffered a sudden cardiac event causing his death, during the cardiac event he fell from his boat."  For this reason no autopsy was ordered.
