RedactedNarrative: Operator stated he and the victim were fishing just below JFK park on the Little Red River when they noticed the water level rising rapidly. They were able to lift the anchor, start the 10hp motor and begin to travel back upstream toward the park.  At some point the motor died and he was unable to get it started again. 
  
  V1 struck a downed tree in the river and capsized ejecting both the operator and victim. The operator was able to swim to the bank but advised he never saw the victim again. At approximately 1400 hours rescuers were able to locate V1 and the victim trapped underneath. 
  
  A blood sample was taken from the operator for testing by Conway Regional Hospital; however the hospital informed the Officer on 10/22/19 that the testing facility rejected the sample due to a fatal flaw - specimen ID number missing.  Officer advised that he did not witness any signs of impairment and the operator was very compliant during the event.
