RedactedNarrative: The operator and 2 passengers were on the lake and the vessel had ran out of gas, while waiting for someone to bring fuel, the operator and 10 yr old passenger jumped off the vessel to swim. 
  
  As the two were swimming the vessel was getting pushed further from them due to weather conditions. As they were attempting to return to the vessel the 10 yr old stated that the operator started yelling for help due to struggling, he tried to get a pfd to him but couldn't. 
  
  The other passenger started throwing rope, another pfd and other things thought to help overboard to assist. The two passengers saw the operator go under and not resurface. The two passengers were able to get back safely to shore. The deceased was found a short time later, doa. Alcohol not a factor.
