RedactedNarrative: On 4/12/2020, at approximately 15:15, three individuals were in a canoe on Little Creek Reservoir in James City County in the area of the Newport News Water Works pump house. As the individuals departed one shoreline, to cross a small cove to another shoreline approximately 100 yards away, they began to lose balance and rolled the canoe over in the water. 
  
  The three individuals hung onto the side of the canoe until it appeared to be sinking. At this time one of the individuals swam the approximate 20 yards to shore before looking back at the other two individuals. Both of the other individuals appeared to be struggling to swim and the first individual returned to the water and was able to assist one of the others back to shore. 
  
  When they returned to shore and looked back the third individual was still struggling to swim and went underwater and never resurfaced. James City County dispatch received the call for a drowning victim at approximately 1526 and dispatched both police and fire units. The York County Sheriff's Office drone team as well as the UVA LifeEvac helicopter were requested for assistance. At 16:51 DGIF dispatch was notified and asked for assistance. By 1730 there were four vessels with side-scan sonar searching the area as well as two dive teams. The search party was unable to locate the missing individual on the afternoon of 4/12/2020 due to sunset and a storm front moving into the area. The on-water search was postponed on 4/13/2020 due to hazardous weather and strong winds. Both DGIF and James City PD conducted shoreline searches on 4/13/2020. The on-water search resumed on 4/14/2020 and the divers were able to locate the deceased individual at approximately 1500.
