RedactedNarrative: On 03/10/2015 at approximately 1248hrs., I OFC received a call from DNR communications in reference to a possible drowning at Lapidum boat ramp, Harford Co.
   
  Upon my arrival at approx. 1303hrs.,a Havre de Grace Ambulance, EMS and Harford Co. Sheriff deputies were on scene ( Incident#57038). EMS personnel indicated the victim was in the ambulance and being transported to Harford Memorial Hospital for precautionary measures. They indicated that the patient first refused treatment but was persuaded to go to the hospital. I asked NRP Off. from Baltimore Co. to go to the hospital to interview Victim while I conducted interviews on scene and secured Victim's property.
   
   Two Maryland State Highway Administration employees had found Victim in the water.  They sated that they had pulled into the Lapidum boat ramp parking lot to use the bathroom.  They heard someone yell for help near the ramps.  They found Victim submerged in water up to his chest. He was conscious laying across the stern of his vessel which had partially sunk at the ramp. The stern of the vessel was submerged and resting on the bottom. They immediately pulled Victim from the water. Took him over to their vehicle to get him warm and out of his wet clothes. When EMS and the ambulance arrived, he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
   
  The State Highway employees recovered the vessel with Victim' truck and trailer.  They said that Victim had launched his boat.  Victim realized he did not put the plug in the boat because it was taking on water. He got into the stern of the boat to try and pump it out when the stern sank. Victim fell back into a horizontal position across the submerged stern of the boat. That is where the two SHA empoyees found him.  The good Samaritans stated that they asked Victim why he didn't get out of the water. He told them he couldn't get out of the water.
   
  Later at approxiamately 1430, victim arrived take possession of his father's boat and truck.  Victim was treated for exposure to the elements and later released from the hospital.  All events occurred in Harford County, Maryland.
