RedactedNarrative: Operator and passenger were in the boat fishing on the upper side of the spillway located near Prairie Island Campground. 
  
  The operator maneuvered the boat too close to the spillway and the boat was pulled parallel with the spillway. The passenger stated their motor did not have enough power to pull them away from the spillway and straighten out. 
  
  The boat ultimately capsized, throwing both operator and passenger overboard. Just prior to capsizing, the operator told the passenger, "We are going to sink." The boat and both occupants went over the spillway. No life jackets were worn by either occupant but were in the boat. There was a throw cushion as well. The passenger was able to grab onto a life jacket after the boat capsized. The passenger was uninjured but the operator drowned. 
  
  Alcohol was not a factor. The boat did not appear to be damaged, but the motor was submerged under water for an extended period of time. The operator's body was recovered the following day at 8:02 p.m.
