  On 09/08/2021, at about 01:31 p.m., this vessel, operated by OPERATOR 1, was fishing on Chance Lake near Hendricks Road near MP 1.5 located near Connell, WA in Franklin county. 
  According to Law Enforcement, OPERATOR & PASSENGER 1 were fishing at the above location.  This is a lake from runoff from Scooteney Park Reservoir, a Federal waterway that drains into the canal system.  
  It appears that the two men had launched this vessel to go fishing in the lake.  Apparently, they neglected to put the two plugs into the vessel and the flotation tube around the top of the vessel was missing.  The vessel sank and neither occupant was wearing a PFD.  Two PFDs, in their original packaging, were in the back seat of OPERATOR 1’s truck.
  NOTE:  OPERATOR 1’s body was recovered at the scene.  PASSENGER 1’s body was located/recovered on 09/11/2021
