RedactedNarrative: On Friday July 27th, 2018 at approximately 1845 hours Park County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a report of a capsized drift boat at the 89 North Fishing Access Site Bridge.  Initial reports indicated that there were 3 occupants in the drift boat that capsized, however it was later determined that there were 5 occupants on the drift boat.  The boat occupants consisted of 3 males and 2 females.
     Reports/Investigations indicate that as the drift boat entered the stretch of the Yellowstone River leading up to 89 North FAS the boat hit the 89 North bridge pilon and became submerged before coming to the top of the surface water at which point the boat was now upside down and continued to float downstream.
    Reports indicate that after the boat capsized 2 males (47-year-old male & 16-year-old male) and 2 females (46-year-old female and 18-year-old female) ended up/along the shore line downstream.  It was reported that the 46-year-old female was downstream and was unresponsive.  
  Reports further indicate that after the boat came to the surface upside down 1 male (15-year-old male) was hanging onto to the drift boat as it drifted out of site.  CPR was currently being done on the 46-year-old female, however she was later pronounced deceased.  Efforts to find the 15-year-old male last observed floating with/alongside the drift boat were unsuccessful.  Efforts to find the 15-year-old male continued until 8/19/2018 when 2 fishermen reported seeing what appeared to be a body hung up on the bridge pillar by Springdale FAS.  Park County Sheriff’s Office responded and recovered the body later that morning.
