RedactedNarrative: The passenger was sitting on a chair, in front of the railing, on the pontoon boat. The operator said the boat was going about 10 mph. He thought the passenger reached down for something and fell over the front of the boat. The passenger was not wearing a life jacket and did not respond when one was thrown to him. The operator jumped into the water to try to help the passenger. A witness on shore called 911. A deputy took a boat out to get both parties out of the water and to shore where an ambulance was waiting. The ambulance pronounced the passenger dead. The Operator was not transported. Life jackets were not being worn by either party.
