  On 09/14/2017, at about 01:00 p.m., this vessel was drifting in Hood Canal around Black Point, located near Brinnon, WA in Jefferson county.    
  
  According to Law Enforcement, this vessel, was in the area described above.  When officers arrived at this location they noted an older male subject on shore, wearing a wet suit, who was being administered CPR.  Approximately 100 yards Southeast on the beach they noted a single Jet Ski PWC getting pushed toward the beach by water.  Officers secured the PWC and tied it off.    
  
  Subject2, a witness, told officers that at about 12:30 p.m., Subject had ridden his new jet over to his house, which is on the water.  Subject beached the PWC and talked with Subject2 before departing.  He was excited as he had just purchased two PWC off of Craig's List.  Subject then began to head back towards the Canal Tracs where he had put in.  
  
  Subject2 indicated that Subject was fighting the tide and the white caps in the water.  He got knocked off of the PWC and yelled “God Damm It!” prior to swimming after the PWC.  Subject2 looked away for a moment and when he looked back, Subject wasn't moving, flailing for help, or screaming for help.  Subject2 believes that Subject may have had a heart attack while swimming.  
  
  Officers located subject3, who was with Subject.  He told officers that Subject did not have much experience with PWCs and when they put into the water, Subject just “took off”.  subject3indicated his PWC wouldn't start.  When he got it started, he tried to find Subject who had gone around the point (Black Point).  The water was too rough for subject3to continue so he turned around.      It was determined after LE investigation that the victim suffered a heart attack while swimming toward the vessel.
