RedactedNarrative: Boating Accident 05/20/17 Drowning Victim 
  
  The above deceased was a passenger in a inflatable kayak along with one other person on May 20, 2017. The kayak was being towed by a rental houseboat from Jamestown Marina when the kayak capsized and both passengers' were ejected into the water. Both subjects were required to start treading water/swimming to stay on the surface until the houseboat could be turned around to come back and get them, as neither were wearing a PFD. 
  
  As the houseboat was turning and making its way back to the subjects,subject1 became in distress and stated "he didn't think he could swim".  Subject2 directed him to swim to shore immediately. Meanwhile a "life Ring" throwable flotation device, was deployed to him but he was unable to reach it before disappearing under the surface. Witnesses stated they looked for him for several minutes but were unsuccessful.
  
   Recovery was made on May 29, 2017 by members of The Russell County Rescue Squad.
