  NARRATIVE:
  On 08/05/2021 at approximately 13:45, I received a phone call from dispatch stating there was a possible drowning in the mouth of Warm Creek and that CPR was in progress. I immediately left my meeting and made my way to my patrol vessel to respond to the incident. I listened to the radio traffic while I made my way up-lake and heard that time of death was called at 14:08. I continued to the scene and when I arrived, I spoke with NPS Ranger who let me know that other NPS rangers had transported the son of VICTIM to the hospital in Page, AZ to be treated for a near drowning. (Was later found to be okay) 
  The body of OPERATOR 1 had been loaded onto their patrol vessel to be transported back to the Wahweap Marina to meet with the Kane County Medical Examiner.
  I made a plan to tow the rental vessel back to Antelope Point so that NPS units could return to the marina with the body. 
  I then attached the rental vessel to my patrol vessel using a side tow technique. I made the tow back to Antelope Point Marina without any issue. I then tied the vessel in the NPS slip and drove back to the Wahweap Marina where I docked my vessel. 
  I met up with NPS and gathered information from the incident so that I could complete the BARD report. NPS explained to me the chain of events that had transpired. (See attached NPS report) 
  I met with rental company gather other information pertaining to the case. (See attached rental agreement and watercraft registration)
  An autopsy report was later obtained which affirmed the death of VICTIM was that of a drowning. (See attached OME report)
