RedactedNarrative: The occupants of the boat had been fishing. The water was about 7 feet deep and they were near shore. The operator leaned over the back of the boat to remove some weeds from the motor prop. The excess weight on the rear of the boat caused the rear end to fill with water and begin to sink. The passenger in front then moved to the rear of the boat to assist in removing water. At that time, the boat capsized and both the operator and passenger swam to shore. No life jackets were being worn at the time of the incident. Alcohol or drugs were not contributing factors in the incident.
