RedactedNarrative: On 07/09/2018 at approximately 1700 hours I, Corporal received a call in reference to a missing boater near Oconee Springs Park on Lake Sinclair. I arrived on scene at approximately 1800 hours and gathered information from a witness as well ascertained where the canoe and personal belongings were found. An oar and sunglasses were located approximately 100 yards from shore and the canoe was found capsized near the shoreline. The canoe did not appear to have any damage.
  	Witness statements stated Operator frequently canoed along the shoreline in the area and was seen between 1600 hours and 1630 hours at Oconee Springs Park and a dock. It was furthered noted that witnesses stated that he appeared intoxicated earlier in the day. Numerous empty beer cans were found floating in the water between the dock and where the canoe was located. 
  	Based on witness accounts of Operator's normal day to day activities it is believed that Operator was paddling his canoe along the shoreline traveling north when he somehow became distressed causing the canoe to capsize. Operator was not wearing a PFD but a PFD was located in the canoe. The approximate time of the incident is believed to be 1630 hours on 07/09/2018.
  	On 07/10/18 at approximately 0820 hours Operator's body was recovered by DNR in 3 foot of water about 75 yards from where the canoe was originally located. There was no visible signs of trauma to Operator. Operator's body was taken to the GBI crime lab for an autopsy.
