RedactedNarrative: On June 25, 2016 a boat accident was reported to have occurred on the Blood River at Bruce's Harbor in Livingston Parish. It was reported that said accident involved one vessel with 2 passengers and that one of the persons was ejected and fatally injured. Based on all statements and current evidence to date the following is a brief synopsis of investigators final findings in this matter:
  
  On said date at approximately 2150 hrs, motorized vessel LA-6382-FA was being operated. The only passenger aboard was his wife.  Said vessel was traveling upstream in the Blood River above planning speed when the operator made a fatal navigation error causing his vessel to come into hard contact with a bulk head located along the shoreline of Bruce's Harbor Canal causing the vessel to make a complete 360 degree turn and come to rest in the mouth of Bruce's Harbor.
  
  As a result of the collision with the bulkhead the operator was ejected and suffered several lacerations to his body as well as a severe head injury to the left side of his head just behind his ear. Upon ejection he came to rest in the water where he was located shortly after by first responders. Emergency responders administered CPR but were unsuccessful in attempts to revive Andre. He was transported to North Oaks Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His wife suffered minor cuts and bruising and was treated and released.
  
  Upon investigation the vessel was found to be equipped with all of the required safety equipment and Personal Flotation Devices as is required by regulations.
  
  A Postmortem blood sample was taken from operator at the by a certified phlebotomist North Oaks Hospital for testing of his blood alcohol level and the results are forthcoming and will be included in this report upon receipt.
  
  On August 1,2016, investigators received toxicology reports from Louisiana State Police Crime Lab which indicated that blood alcohol content was .17g% which is more than twice the statutorily legal limit allowed in the state of Louisiana.
