RedactedNarrative: According to witnesses, they heard screaming coming from the lake and saw V1 going in circles without anyone on board.  They then noticed two small children in the water and were able to get into another boat and rescue the two children passengers.  The children advised them that their father (victim) was operating V1.  Arriving officers to the scene were able to stop V1.  V1's kill switch lanyard was still attached to the motor and the other end was wrapped around the motor bracket.  Upon inspection of V1, no damage or malfunctions were detected.  It is unknown what caused the occupants to be ejected as the children were not able to provide any information.

  The victim was recovered within approximately 90 minutes of the accident and was pronounced dead upon recovery.  The coroner took possession of the body and was going to perform an autopsy and toxicology screens; of which he said the results should be back within 8 weeks.
