RedactedNarrative: This accident involves one vessel, a ~26' sailboat under power by a 50HP motor.  The sailboat was returning to the ramp with four people on board.  While under power, the operator left the helm and started to walk forward.  As he walked abaft the port beam the vessel leaned to port, ejecting all four occupants into the water.  The operator later stated he thought there were too many people on the port side of the vessel, causing it to lean to port.  The vessel righted and maintained a slow speed in a circular rotational pattern ("circle of death").  The operator helped subject1 stay afloat because he didn't know how to swim.  Both individuals were struck by the boat.  The strike forced both of them underwater and the boat traveled over them.  When the operator returned to the surface, subject1 did not resurface.
  
  The three occupants other than Subject1 were rescued and returned to shore for emergency medical treatment.  Subject1's body was recovered the following day.  I assisted with the recovery and noticed linear lacerations across Subject1's forehead.  They appeared consistent with wounds caused from a propeller strike with the throttle engaged.  Subject1 was not wearing a PFD when his body was recovered.
