RedactedNarrative: On Thursday March 17, 2022, I, Corporal, responded to a report of a drowning in Glynn County.  Once I arrived on scene at the Park Street public boat ramp, I saw First Responders on a private dock performing life saving measures on a black male.  I was approached by a Glynn County Police Officer.  The Officer told me a black male stepped off the bow of a boat onto the dock, lost his footing and fell in the water.   The Officer told me the operator of the boat was standing on the walkway portion of the dock.  I asked Operator what happened, he told me Occupant stepped from the bow of his 18’ Kenner boat to the public dock.  Operator said that Occupant appeared to lose his balance when he stepped on the dock.  He said Occupant tried to catch himself on the dock as he entered the water.  Operator then grabbed a scrub brush off his boat and extended it out to Occupant, who was just a few feet away.  Operator said Occupant could not reach the brush and went under for just a few seconds before resurfacing.  
  
  	Operator got back in his boat and pulled up along side Occupant.  He said he handed his friend the brush and pulled him to the side of the boat.  Operator said Occupant spoke to him while he was reaching out to him.  Occupant then held onto the gunwale of the boat but continued to struggle.  Operator was able to get the boat up to a private dock and a good Samaritan came down to help him.  When they got Occupant up on the dock, he was unconscious.  Operator began CPR on Occupant and continued it until First Responders arrived on scene.  Operator said Occupant was spitting up a lot of foam while he was doing CPR.  Operator performed CPR for nearly 7 minutes according to the security video I received from the home owner.  
  
  	First Responders were not able to revive Occupant.  Deputy Coroner responded to the scene and pronounced Occupant dead.  Occupant body was sent to the crime lab for an autopsy.
