RedactedNarrative: On July 25th, 2015 at approximately 1413pm, National Park Service (NPS) received a call reporting a prop cut at approximately aton 12 on Lake Mohave along the Arizona side of the lake. The cove was later identified as Cactus Cove. A vessel (V1) which is a 25 foot Ultra Custom Stealth was the vessel involved in the incident. Occupant1 was identified as the son of Operator and Occupant2 identified as the fiance of Operator. 
  
  Occupant2 and Occupant1 were in the water off the stern of the vessel while Operator was on board V1. Occupant2 and Occupant1 were floating on life jackets but not properly wearing them. V1 began to float towards the shore and Occupant2 instructed Operator to drive the vessel away from the shore before it hit the rocks along the shore. Operator had minimal knowledge of how to operate the vessel and stated she had only been on the vessel twice. Operator and Occupant1 remained in the water and Occupant2 attempted to inform Operator on how to operate the vessel. Operator still did not understand how to operate the vessel and it continued to float towards the shore. Operator then put the vessel in reverse gear and the vessel proceeded backwards towards Occupant2 and Occupant1. The engine was turned slightly and proceeded backwards towards the starboard side. Occupant2 was struck by the prop and Occupant1 was pulled under the vessel and surfaced adjacent to the vessel. Operator upon realizing the vessel was moving backwards attempted to put the vessel in neutral but Occupant2 was struck before Operator could react. According to Occupant1 the engine reved into a high RPM after Occupant1 resurfaced. Occupant2 was struck by the prop and believed to have stopped the engine after impact. 
  
  Occupant1 was pulled out of the water onto the boat and suffered no injuries. 
  
  Occupant2 was pronounced dead on scene due to the nature of the injuries and no obvious sign of life. Las Vegas Metropolitan Search and Rescue divers recovered the head and partial upper body the night of the incident. Mohave County Coroner''s Office claimed the remains and the body was preliminarily identified as Occupant2 at Katherine''s Landing Marina based on the driver''s license picture. 
  
  Further remains were recovered on July 28th and July 31st, 2015 by the National Park Service and the remains were turned over to the medical examiner. 
  
  No charges filed.
