RedactedNarrative: In the early morning hours of 6/16/2018  the Hopkins County Medical Center was called at 02:13 to a report of a missing person/possible drowning. Both witness and Victim had travelled from their residence to a strip pit/ water reservoir at mile marker 8 on Hwy 109. 
  
  Witness stated that they took the canoe through the woods and launched it into the strip pit. Witness also said they had been fishing when they both leaned to the same side of the canoe when it tipped over and both subjects fell into the water. The witness said that they both grabbed onto the canoe which was now upside down before they started grabbing for their fishing gear. The witness stated that had had a fishing pole and sweatshirt in his hand and a his tackle box handle held by his mouth. 
  
  The witness said that he saw the victim who had flipped the canoe back over trying to scoop water out of the vessel with his hands. The witness then said he had to drop his pole and sweatshirt and started swimming toward the shoreline. Once he reached the shoreline he began screaming for the victim but did not hear or see anything. 
  
  Once the witness realized his calls were not being answered he left the scene and travelled by foot to his residence to call for help. Upon my arrival on scene the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office, Charleston Fire/Rescue, and Hopkins County Medical Center were all on scene. The fire and rescue with the aid of a drone located and recovered the body of the victim about 20 yards off of shore in about 6-9 ft of water.
