RedactedNarrative: Two subjects were in vessel and were engaged in fishing activity.  According to survivor, they had checked their last line and were backing up, away from the bank.  At some point, the boat was thrown into a hard spin, and both persons in the boat were ejected.  
  
  It is believed the operator lost his grip on the tiller handle of the motor, causing the boat to spin rapidly to starboard, ejecting both persons on board out to port.  The survivor stated she didn't see what happened, as she was facing forward at the time, but that she didn't feel the boat hit anything.  After both subjects were ejected, the vessel, a 15' Alumacraft, continued to run, and continued downstream.  The boat was later recovered downstream, and was undamaged, and was not swamped or capsized.   
  
  Neither subject on board was wearing a PFD, and the engine cutoff lanyard was not utilized.  The passenger was able to reach the bank of the river, while the operator was not.  The body was recovered two days later, and the body was released to Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks agent MSGT, to be returned to the family.
