RedactedNarrative: On November 3rd 2015 at approximately 1:30 PM I responded to a boating accident call at an un-named pond in the Hanover area of Patapsco Valley State Park. Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County Fire Departments were already on scene when I arrived. I was informed by firemen that 2 boaters had fell into the water while canoeing and one did not resurface. The first boater was transported to Baltimore Washington Medical Center. The second boater never resurfaced and is missing. 
  
  While on scene I obtained a witness statement from subject1 who was fishing in the same pond at the time of the accident. Subject1 stated that he witnessed the 2 boaters put the canoe into the pond, then paddle a short distance close to the shoreline. He then witnessed one boater bailing water out of the canoe while the other boater drank a beverage out of a tall can; the two boaters were talking to each other casually at this time. A short time later, Subject1 looked up from his activities and saw both boaters in the water. Survivor was holding onto the canoe and with his head above water. At this time Deceased was struggling to stay above water and appeared not to be able to swim. Subject1 then ran to the bank closest to the men and was able to pull Survivor out of the water with a long stick. When Subject1 arrived at the bank, Deceased was already under the water and did not resurface.
  
  The canoe, 3 paddles and 2 life jackets were recovered and are being held as evidence.
  
  Anne Arundel and Baltimore County Fire and Rescue used divers and side scan sonar to search for Deceased’ body. Search attempts were unsuccessful due to large amounts of debris and branches in the water which also posed a safety hazard to divers. At approximately 4:30 recovery efforts were suspended for the day due to impending sunset.
  
  Cpl. of the Special Operations Division will handle the remainder of this investigation.
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County..
  
  
  On the morning of November 10, 2015, the body was recovered from the pond where the accident occurred in Patapsco Valley State Park. The following personal effects were retrieved with Deceased’ body: a fishing pole with fishing line, a set of keys, a copper bracelet, a necklace with a cross, and a cell phone with its case. I delivered Deceased’ personal effects to his wife.
