RedactedNarrative: On April 10, 2014 I was received a call regarding a fatality boat crash on Watts Bar Lake near the Red Cloud Camp ground. I was informed on my way to the scene that this was a one vessel accident and there was (1) fatality and (1) injury. Injured was the operator and Deceased was his passenger. 
  Upon my arrival to the scene Officer had already given several statement forms out to gather information as to what happened. (NOTE: Nobody saw the accident occurred.) Injured was in an ambulance awaiting transport. Deceased’s body was on the rescue vessel that brought the men in. I gave the EMS crew a blood kit to obtain Injureds blood for examination. 
  Officer went and met Injured at Rhea Co. Medical Center and was able to obtain a written statement. According to Injured he was leaving the "hog pin" when his vessel struck a large wave or wake that threw him out of the boat. When he came up he saw that his boat was capsized. When he reached the vessel he started shouting for Deceased. Injured then saw Deceased floating in the water. He stated that he thought that Deceased was face down. When he saw victim, he started yelling for help. He then stated that two men from the shore came to help him and he told them to help deceased. Injured then stated that the men could not get deceased in the their boat. He then stated that they tied a rope around him to keep him from going down. 
  NOTE: The motor and GPS downloads have not been completed at this time. The vessel speed will be determined after downloads.   Victim suffered trauma from impacting the water.
  After the downloads of the GPS system it was deemed that this was an accident where weather conditions and speed played a factor. The evidence shows that the statement of the operator and the GPS downloads compliment each other. After speaking with the DA''s office it was also decided that no further action be taken.  Neither subject was wearing a life jacket/
