RedactedNarrative: On March 9, 2018, at 12:48 pm, Trooper and I received a call from St. Clair County Dispatch about an overturned kayak just below Logan Martin Dam on Lay Lake.  Trooper and I then met with the caller and St. Clair County Deputies at Kelly Creek Boat Ramp.  Responding units began a quick search of the area to look for the missing boater.  The vessel was located .98 miles south of the Logan Martin Dam overturned and hung up on the East side of the river.  
  All required safety equipment was in the vessel.  After preliminary investigation it was determined that the missing boater was a 68yo.  He was not immediately recovered and a 9 day search ensued.  His body was recovered on March 18, 2018 at 10:16 AM, approximately 8 miles south of the Logan Martin Dam.  He wasn’t wearing a life jacket at the time of the recovery.  The body was sent to ADFS for an autopsy. ADFS conducted an autopsy and determined the cause of death to be drowning.
