RedactedNarrative: The operator (victim) was at a local restaurant/bar on the lake and departed at approximately 2030 hours via his pontoon boat. He had been drinking. Indications are he approached his dock at his home on the south shore of the lake, and partially deployed his pontoon rear sea legs. The boat was discovered 5-6 feet from the end of his dock. Neighbors said he always parked on the right side of the dock. Summation is he attempted to step from his pontoon boat to the dock and lost his balance, struck his head and went into the water. The victim was discovered, about 9:30 a.m., by neighbors two houses west of the victim's dock, floating face first in the water. He was approximately 15-20 feet from shore. He was not wearing a life jacket.
