RedactedNarrative: On 07/09/22 at 1030 hours Chatham Game Wardens received a call in reference to a boating incident in the Savannah River involving one 75 year old man. We were told that a boat capsized in the Savannah River and at the time was unsure of how it happened. Chatham County Marine Patrol responded to the scene and was able to get more information. One witness stated that the victim was intentionally trying to get his anchor stuck in the rocks. He did so and attempted to turn his boat out into the channel, but when he did so that anchor line would pull the stern down because it was stuck and Victim would take on water from the stern. As the boat was taking on water and he attempted to get the water out of the vessel.The boat then capsized and Victim was thrown into the water. The witness attempted to throw a flotation device to him and he grabbed onto it, but by that time Victim had foam coming from his mouth. The witness stated that Victim was not in the water very long and felt as though he didn't drown but suffered from a medical episode brought on by the incident. The Coast Guard was called by the witness and when they arrived onscene they performed CPR on the Victim, but was unsuccessful.
  
  We took pictures and looked for any identifying numbers, but was unable to find any at that time. We had no name for the victim because  we couldn't find a wallet due to the boat being capsized. 
  
   *** The Vessel had been in the water for 30 hours until it washed up on Tybee Island Beach where Tybee fire retrieved the vessel.
  
  On 7/21/22 I spoke with the coroner and he confirmed that Victim died by drowning.
