RedactedNarrative: The victim and 4 passengers were boating on Lake Champlain when the victim operator stopped to go for a swim. The boat was drifting and due to the large waves, quickly drifted away from him. 
  
  Two passengers each independently entered the water in an effort to assist the victim back to the boat but were unsuccessful. There was an effort to throw PFD's to the victim in the water however they floated away from him. The victim slipped under the water and did not surface. He was found to have alcohol and marijuana in his system.
  
  There were PFD's on board however it is not know if they were readily accessible or how many.
