RedactedNarrative: These three men were in a 12 foot aluminum John Boat with a 2 horsepower trolling motor fishing at night, and were floating downstream on the Tug River during very high water conditions at night.  
  
  The John Boat collided with a submerged rock and the boat overturned.  The deceased subject had been drinking that night and had marijuana paraphernalia in his pockets upon body-recovery.
  The victim and another passenger clung to a tree branch on the Kentucky side of the river. The victim then decided to attempt to swim to the West Virginia shore but did not make it and drowned.
