RedactedNarrative: On Saturday July 11th at approximately 1630 Operator and his wife launched their boat from the Four Corners boat ramp to go meet friends/family. Operator tried motor before backing down and it cranked and ran. 
  
  Wife backed the truck and launched Operator and their dog on the pontoon boat. Wife parked truck and came back to ramp to see the pontoon boat up against a houseboat. Operator told Wife at that point that motor would not start. 
  
  Operator had put trolling motor down but did not have the pedal control with him. Operator was standing near the front of the pontoon boat when Wife turned to ask a bystander if he would help Operator with a rope. 
  
  Wife turned back around and did not see Operator on the pontoon boat and started yelling.  At this time time the first witness was coming into the boat ramp on his PWC. He noticed Operator struggling in the water so he jumped in and helped keep his head above the water. Then the second witness who is a former EMT was on a boat that was launching from the ramp. He jumped in the water as well and helped tie a rope around operator and drug him to shore by the boat the former EMT was on. Once on shore the former EMT performed CPR until Nashville Fire and Ambulance arrived and transported operator to Southern Hills Hospital. Operator died on July 19th.
