RedactedNarrative: On the 6th day of August 2017 I responded to a boating accident that had occurred in the Harrison bay area of Chickamauga Lake near TN river mile 481. According to the operator of the vessel he was preparing to tow Victim. According to witness statements there appeared to have been some miscommunication between Operator and Victim and Victim entered the water before Operator was ready. 
  
  Operator stated that he wanted to straighten the vessel out before he took off so he put the vessel in reverse and felt something under the vessel. When Operator looked back for Victim he did not see him, then Victim surfaced yelling for help. Operator and other parties aboard the vessel called 911 and yelled at nearby vessels for help. 
  
  Victim was loaded aboard a nearby pontoon vessel and taken into the boat ramp at the Harrison bay state park where he was met by the ambulance. Victim suffered severe lacerations to his back, right arm, and legs. Victim was transported to the Erlanger medical center where he succumbed to his injuries.
