RedactedNarrative: Around 16:30 hours on 06-03-2019 two people met subject1 at the Clay WMA Licking River boat ramp, where Subject1 had been camping and fishing over the past few days.  Subject2 says that they left the ramp around 16:30 and headed down stream.  
  
  Subject2 and Subject3 were together in a Jon boat and Subject1 followed them in a canoe.  Neither the boat nor the canoe were equipped with any life jackets.  Subject2 and Subject3 went on ahead and stopped at a rocky shore approx. 1-2 miles down the river to fish and dig green worms.  
  
  After fishing for a couple of hours they headed back upstream toward camp.  At the first rifle they came upon Subject1's tackle box and canoe floating upside down in the river.  Subject2 and Subject3 headed back to camp to see if he had made it back to his tent.  After they realized he had not, they went back to where they found the canoe and searched for him along the banks, at this point they called 911.  Carlisle Dispatch received the call at 19:47 hours, Nicholas county Sheriff and the Nicholas county Fire Department responded and started a search by boats and land.  Sgt. assisted in the search by boat as well.
  
  On 06-06-2019 Subject1's body was found in close proximity to where the canoe was found.  Subject1 was pronounced dead by the Nicholas county coroner at 16:15 hours.  The medical examiner lists the cause of death drowning, no foul play is suspected.
