RedactedNarrative: Part Time TWRA Officer contacted dispatch on 9/1/2018 and needed me to respond due to a single PWC incident on Tims Ford Lake.  Based on interviews with the PWC owner who was riding nearby at the time of the incident, he and Victim were operating PWCs near Hopkins Point.  Owner had attempted to teach Victim a little about the operation of the PWC when they launched them into the lake.  Victim admittedly had never operated a PWC before but felt as if he could.  Owner indicated that Victim was doing well and they chose to ride more.  Owner left out of the cove, looking back occasionally to see if Victim was following.  He looked back and didn’t see him so he turned and came back.  
  
  He found Victim floating near the bank with his feet/legs partially on the PWC. Victim was floating face up but unresponsive.  Owner attempted to start CPR on Victim.  Owner said that Victim threw up but failed to regain any consciousness.  Owner flagged down help from another boater who called 911.  A doctor who helped took over CPR for Owner and took Victim to the bank for EMS.  He was pronounced deceased by EMS upon unsuccessful attempts to revive Victim.
   
  Update: Investigator and Officer met with Franklin Co. ADA on 12/21/18 to discuss the case.  General indicated they would not pursue any criminal charges as a result of the incident.  TWRA will consider this case closed unless new evidence arises.
  
  The victim had a .12 BAC.
