  Upon arrival we observed a sinking vessel with no persons on board, Towboat US was on scene salvaging the vessel and we met with Ofc. who was on scene with two Coast Guard members.

  Before departing the scene I talked to the Towboat Us operator who was in charge of the salvage. I asked him to contact me when he could determine what caused the vessel to take on water. He later called me and stated that "one of the clamps on the coupling for the drive shaft was unsecured and caused the vessel to take on water and sink".

He completed a sworn statement in Spanish which stated that "he left the Miami river heading North after passing 79th Street Cswy the boat started to take on water, he called emergency and in 5 minutes the boat sank". 
  
  At approximately 12pm we left the residence and completed the report. 
  
  I have determined based on witness statements and operator accounts of what took place, that no violations have occurred. 
  
  This concludes the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservations Commission investigation regarding this incident.
