RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was heading northwest towards belle starr.  The victim needed to use the bathroom, so the operator stopped the vessel.  Passenger 3 put the ladder down so the victim could get into the water.  At this time the other three occupants of the boat were all towards the front of the boat facing away from the victim.  
  At this time they heard a loud banging noise coming from the back of the boat.  When they turned around they saw that the victim was hanging upside down and either his pants or leg was hung up on the guard rail.  The victim yelled to get him loose. 
  Passenger 3 grabbed the victim's leg and freed him from the railing.  The victim went into the water and started swimming in small circles.  The other passengers knew something wasn't right, so passengers three and four jumped into the water and pulled him to the back of the boat.  The victim's head was under the water for approximately 30 seconds according to the witnesses.  
  The location of the accident is only an approximate location due to the boats being moved before my arrival, as well as the distance that had to be traveled to reach the boat ramp for help.  The approximate location is 1.7 miles northeast of the sherwood forest boat ramp, approximately 1.2 miles southwest of the snug harbor boat ramp and approximately 2.8 miles northwest of number nine north boat ramp.  All boat ramps used are on eufaula lake.  The victim was taken by hunn black and merritt funeral home at the request of medical examiner.
