RedactedNarrative: Prelude: 
  On 9-5-15 I, Indiana Conservation Officer, was called to a boat accident on Lake Webster. By the time I had arrived on scene EMS had already taken the victim. Victim succumbed to his injuries on Monday 9-7-15.
  
  When I arrived on scene Kosciusko County Deputy advised the accident involved two Personal Water Crafts (PWCs) that collided with each other. Deputy took me to where the other driver and PWCs had been brought to shore. 
   
  The second driver was identified as Operator2 and he was the owner of both the PWCs. Operator2 advised Operator1 had very little experience on a PWC and today was the first time he had ever operated one. Operator2 said they were driving across the lake almost side by side before the accident happened. 
   
  Operator1 was about 50 feet in front and to the left of Operator2. Operator2 advised they were driving about 20-30 MPH when all the sudden he saw Operator1 make a right hand turn into his line of travel. Operator2 said he had very little time to react so he turned to the left and gave it some gas trying to turn sharper. 
   
  The bow of Operator2' PWCs struck Operator1 on the right side of his chest and knocked him from the PWC. Operator2 advised it took him a while before being able to flag down a passing boat for help. Some passing boaters loaded Operator1 onto their boat and transported Operator2 and the PWCs to shore near EMS W14 LN. Once on shore they called 911. Operator1 was complaining of chest pain and hip pain. 
   
  Operator2 advised they were both wearing their Personal Floatation Devices at the time of the accident. Operator2 also advised no alcohol had been consumed. Operator2 tested .000 on my PBT and the EMS crew stated they didn't smell any alcohol on Operator1's person. I asked Operator2 if anyone saw the accident happened, and he advised if they did, nobody came to help them. The boat he managed to get for help from said they didn't see they accident happen either. I asked some people that were fishing from shore when I arrived if they saw the accident and none of them saw it either. 
  
  I briefly inspected the PWCs to assess their damage while they were on the water. I could see some minor damage done to both PWCs, Operator2' had damage to the right side of the bow and Operator1 had damage on his right gunwale and on the right side of the seat. I advised Operator2 to take the PWCs to the boat ramp and load them on his trailers so I could inspect the damage more thoroughly. Once the PWCs were on the trailers I did not see any other obvious damage done. Operator2' PWC bow made contact with the right side gunwale, towards the beginning of the foot well. The angle and force of the impact lifted the bow of Operator2' PWC sending it across the seat making it possible for it to strike Operator1 in the chest. Operator2' statement of how the accident occurred is supported by the damage done to the PWCs. 
  
  Approximately 2330 hours I received an update that Operator1 had made it out of surgery and was listed as critical. Operator1 had a large amount of internal bleeding but they were able to get it stopped. 
  
  Monday September 7th 
  I called the hospital to get a status update on Operator1 and the nurse advised he had a stroke. She advised he had to have surgery again and was still listed as critical.
  
  Approximately 2030 hours I received a call from the Allen County Coroner advising Operator1 had passed away. The coroner asked if I needed to have an autopsy done. I advised him under the circumstances I didn't need to have an autopsy. 
  
  Wednesday September 9th
  I went to Operator2 residence to take more photographs of the PWC with better lightning. While at the residence, Operator2 mentioned after playing the incident over and over in his head he remembers it happening a little different than what he told me on the 5th. Operator2 stated like before Operator1 was slightly in front of him and off to the left but he now remember that Operator1 was operating his PWC in tight c
