RedactedNarrative: The operator was last seen by witness 2, waterfowl hunting on the east side of the rock jetty at the end of Springbrook/Wilson Road around 1200. The operator informed witness 2 that he would be staying out for an additional hour. When the operator did not return at the stated return time and his witness I, went to look for him. The operator was found by witness I, on the west side of the rock jetty floating in the water approximately 5 feet from shore at 1653. He was located 3 feet from his swamped vessel which was up against the rocks and I foot from a small boat trailer on shore. 
  
  Due to the operator being the only occupant on the vessel and there were no witnesses to the incident, a lot of the information for this accident is unknown. The time of the incident was determined as the time witness I placed the 911 call. The operator's black Labrador retriever was found sitting next to the body when Erie County Deputies arrived on scene. Witness 2 stated that the dog had been on the vessel with the Operator earlier.
