RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, September 17, 2022, at approximately 1700 hours, I received a phone call from our communications center in Raleigh regarding a potential drowning on Jordan Lake in the area of Farrington Road and Martha's Chapel Road. At that time, I contacted Chatham County Sheriff's Office communications center. I was advised Chatham County Sheriff's Office and North Chatham Fire Department were the first agencies on scene. CCSO and NCFD secured the scene. I arrived on scene at approximately 1740 hours.  At that time, I contacted Captain from CCSO. North Chatham Fire Department was attempting to locate the drowning victim. After searching the area, NCFD recovered the body in approximately 12 feet of water. 
  
  Preliminary reports indicated that Subject1 was approximately 50 yards out in the water on a paddle board and fell off.  Subject1 started gasping for air and was having trouble staying afloat. Subject1 was not wearing a PFD. Two friends went into the water to try to save Subject1 but were unable to do so. The paddle board, a 12-foot MAXKARE, was on the shoreline, as well as some other belongings. 
  
  I obtained witness statements from the four friends that were present during the incident.  Next of kin was notified via phone because they were out of the state at the time. The body was transported to Farrington Point Boating Access Area.  A parent of one of the witnesses made an official identification at Farrington Point Boating Access Area.  I took investigative photos of the body in the back of the ambulance and gave Subject1's cellphone to a medic on scene. Subject1's body was transported to Chatham Hospital for further examination by the Medical Examiner's Office.
