RedactedNarrative: On July 29, 2019 the two subjects were fishing in the tailwater of Ft. Loudoun Dam in Lenoir City, TN.  At the time there were two spillgates open and their 16'' Lowe had drifted into the eddy of the spillgates.  As the vessel drifted close to the turbulent water created by the spillgates, they attempted to start the motor to move away but the motor would not start.  
  Subject1 claimed to be at the front of the vessel during this time, never being at the helm.  Subject2 claimed that Subject1 was the one attempting to start the motor until he eventually tried.  The vessel was consumed by the spilling water and both occupants went into the water.  Subject2 was the first to surface downstream of the turbulent water where he was rescued by two other vessels.  The same vessels were able to get Subject1 who was found floating face down.  At the time of the incident both occupants were wearing PFD''s but were both stripped of their PFD''s in the turbulent water.  Both men were transported to the shore where they were received by EMS personnel and transported to area hospitals.  The vessel has not been recovered.
