RedactedNarrative: According to the owner of the Plainfield Fishing Resort, two people rented one of his Starcraft rowboats (Unit #1) to use on the lake on the afternoon of 06/04/21. He said he provided the renter with two ‘life jackets’ which were later determined to be Type IV personal flotation devices (PFD). He explained he charges each person on the boat a fee and provides each one with a ‘life jacket’ at the time of the rental. Witnesses said the owner did not provide the renters of Unit #1 with PFDs. 
  
  Subject1 stated he was an occupant of Unit #1 with his brother subject2 and Subject2’s son. He said Unit #1 was anchored with a weight while they were all fishing. He said there were three bench seats built into the boat and Subject2 was sitting on the front bench seat while Subject3 was sitting on the middle one. He said he (Subject1) was sitting on the rear bench seat. He said they were all positioned on the starboard side of Unit #1 which caused it to list to that side. 
  
  Subject1 said he began to stand up at the same time as Subject2 so they could switch locations in Unit #1. He said when they stood up, Unit #1 rocked to the right ejecting them all into the water on Unit #1’s starboard side. He said Unit #1 proceeded to capsize and he did not believe it hit any of the occupants as it was overturning. 
  
  Subject1 said he located a ‘red seat cushion’ floating in the water which was later identified as a type IV PFD. He said this is the only one he saw in the water. He said he noticed Subject2 was trying to save Subject3.  
  
  Subject1 said he used the PFD to swim to a group of trees where he was able to stand up. He said in the meantime, he noticed Subject2 and Subject3 were drowning. He said Subject2 was trying to hold Subject3 up. He said both Subject2 and Subject3 went under the surface of the water about ten seconds to a minute later. Subject1 said Subject2 and Subject3 remained under water until the police came and helped pull them out. Subject1 said he knew how to swim; however, Subject2 did not. 
  
  Subject2 and Subject3 were both transported to the hospital via ambulance. Subject2 was pronounced deceased upon arrival and Subject3 was flown to another hospital a short time later. 
  
  Unit #1 was capsized and visible off in the distance from the east shore. It was out in the water on the east side of the lake approximately fifty (50) to seventy-five (75) yards northwest of the second point north of W. Renwick Road. There was also an orange wearable PFD a short distance from two type IV PFDs. One was red and the other was blue. They were directly to the north of this same point. 
  
  It was later learned Subject3 was ultimately discharged from the hospital after an extended stay. 
  
  Upon reviewing the Will County Coroner’s report, it was learned Subject2’s cause of death was pronounced as being a drowning.
