RedactedNarrative: The following is a summary of the investigation.  For full report contact the Maine Warden Service Headquarters in Augusta. 
  
  On August 23rd, 2019 I, Warden was dispatched to a report of a possible drowning on Brettuns Pond in the Town of Livermore. 
  
  I determined that Operator was operating his 12 foot aluminum boat across Brettuns Pond.  The boat was occupied by Operator and two others.  
  
  According to statements made by surviving parties the boat began to take on water and quickly sank in approximately 15 feet of water.  The operator maintains that there were three wearable life jackets on board, while only two wearable type III life jackets were recovered.  
  
  After the boat sank subject1 floated to shore on her back, Operator located a life jacket in the water and used it to get to shore.  Subject2 did not arrive on shore with the others and was found unresponsive in the water by concerned citizens. 
  
  The investigation determined that the boat had a drilled 1" hole in the side of the boat.  With the weight of three adults in the boat it would have brought the hole close to the water line.  It is believed that the hole allowed water into the boat before it ultimately sank.
