RedactedNarrative: The County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a man who had fallen out of the boat into the lake, gone under, and had not resurfaced. Deputy arrived on scene and located the wife of the victim, who was in the boat in the general area that the victim had fallen overboard. She had been able to flag down another boater passing by. He came over to assist and obtained GPS coordinates for the area. The victim's wife said her husband had been operating the boat, but asked her to steer the boat while he stood in the back of the boat to urinate. The boat was moving forward "putting along" while she was seated in the driver's seat. The victim said something to her so she turned the swivel driver's seat and the armrest hit the throttle which caused the boat to lunge forward. This rapid increase in speed caused the victim to be thrown overboard. The victim's wife turned the boat around and came back to him to assist. She had thrown two life jackets to him, however, he was unable to reach them. She said he appeared to start struggling to stay afloat, and shortly after, went under the water surface. He did not resurface. The Dive Team and Water Patrol responded. A North Air Care helicoptor flying overhead located the body in about six feet of water near the search area. The victim was pronounced deceased by North Ambulance. The victim had not been wearing a life jacket. Alcohol was a factor in the incident. There was no BAC obtained for the wife, but she told deputies they had each had two beers. The victim was an employee for the company that owned the boat. He borrowed the boat from the store to go boating after work. Since it was a new boat on the lot, it had not been registered.
