RedactedNarrative: On 7/23/15 at approx. 1520hrs I was dispatched to the area of the Lake Francis Case visitor’s center for a boating accident. Upon arrival I made contact with P1. Passenger told me her and her husband, O1, had been in the boat, and anchored near the barge in the bay below the visitor’s center. O1 had tried to retrieve the anchor, it appeared to be stuck. He pulled on the rope, and went overboard. P1 threw the flotation cushion to him, as he was not wearing a life vest. She was trying to get the vests, the boat drifted away, and she didn’t know how to operate it. O1 went under the water and did not resurface. P1 called 911. A search of the water was performed by personnel in the Sheriffs Dept. boat, as well as two other boats. Certified divers were called to the scene. O1 was located on the bottom, near the initial point of entry to the water, approx. 1 hour after falling in. Body was recovered and coroner and family were notified. A son-in-law was transported to the dock area recovery scene and was allowed to take the boat to the boat dock to trailer it.
