RedactedNarrative: On 09/10/2021, at approximately 8:10 AM, CPO and I arrived at Fox Lake.  When we arrived there were multiple fire and rescue personnel and Lake County Sheriff Deputies on scene.  We met with Fox Lake Fire Department regarding a subject who drowned on Fox Lake. I spoke with Battalion Chief, he advised around 1:30 am, two subjects went out into Mineola Bay on a canoe.  The canoe capsized and both subjects went into the water.  One subject was rescued by a local resident in a boat.  The other subject was not rescued and his body was recovered hours later.  His time of death was declared by Dr. at 8:04 AM. Chief advised the victim was in the back of the ambulance and they would transport him to Fox Lake Fire Station and wait for the coroner. He advised the canoe was still in the water and anchored down.
   
   
  We spoke with Lake County Sheriff Deputy and he advised they would be conducting the death investigation part of the accident and I advised we would conduct the boat accident side.  He advised the Lake County report and Investigator  would be handling the investigation.  
   
  CPO and I utilized our patrol boat to locate and recover the canoe.  We brought the canoe back to Atwater Pkwy and placed it up on shore.  I spoke with a subject who advised me he was out with victim in the canoe (see attached written statement). He advised they just had arrived at the house late the night before, it was a rental that they were all staying at for the weekend.  He advised at around 1:30 am, they paddled out into the lake to drink a beer and listen to music.  He advised when they were turning around to come back in, they both leaned to one side of the canoe to paddle and the canoe capsized and they both went into the water.  He advised they flipped the canoe back over and it was full of water, so they flipped it back upside down again.  He advised they floated on the canoe for approximately five minutes while yelling for help.  He advised the canoe eventually sunk and they both were treading water for a little bit while continuing to yell for help, eventually he did not hear victim yelling anymore.  He advised a local resident in a boat rescued him from the water and he was transported to shore.  
  
  See attached Lake County Cororner report.  Cause of death was accidental drowning with alcohol intoxication as a contributing factor.  
  
  
  
  At approximately 11:30 am, we cleared, taking no further action at this time.
