RedactedNarrative: On May 11, 2019 at approximately 12:45pm, EPO was dispatched to the area of Rocky Pt. for a report of a boat that was taking on water with two subjects in the water.  Upon EPO arrival, she reported that Warwick and Bristol PD were at the scene along with the US Coast Guard, however, both victims had cleared the scene and headed to their residence.  EPO then responded to the home.  
  
  Operator stated that he and his son were fishing off Rocky Pt. State Park area in water that was approximately 6-ft deep. They were both seated towards the back of the vessel actively fishing not realizing that waves were breaking over the transom and swamping the stern of the boat. When they realized that the boat had taken on water, Operator pulled the plug out and headed back in an attempt to de-water the boat. Because the boat was so weighed down with water, the speed could not exceed 10 knots. The propeller then struck a rock and broke off.  The boat lost forward momentum and capsized shortly thereafter. Operator was able to call for help before going over.  They were treated for hypothermia on shore and were not transported to a medical facility.The boat was later recovered by a marine salvage company. The boat sustained extensive damage from being submerged. Damage was to the hull, electronics and the motor. Additional damage was sustained to the motor and hull from hitting submerged rocks.
