RedactedNarrative: On 6/30/15 at approximately 6:00 PM, Victim left his house to check his trot lines in the East Fork of the Kaskaskia River.  Victim drove his UTV to the edge of the flooded timber where he kept his canoe.  When Victim did not return by 10:30 that night, subject went to look for him.  Subject found Victim''s canoe, untied from it''s normal spot, and floating against the shore about 30 feet away.  The canoe was empty and Victim''s hat was located in the water in front of the canoe.  Subject contacted Clinton County Sheriff''s Office and a deputy responded.  
  
  The deputy searched the area through the morning, and IL Conservtion Police were contacted around 6:00 AM on 7/1/15.  IL Conservaton Police used sonar to search the water and USAR (Urban search and Rescue) was called and arrived with search dogs to check the shoreline.  Keyesport Fire Department divers were then contacted to search the flooded timber where sonar could not be effectively used.  At approximately 4:38 PM, Victim''s body was discovered floating about 50 yards east of his canoe in the flooded timber.  Autopsy results will be available at a later date.  Detective is conducting the investigation for the Clinton County Sheriff''s Department.  Det. report will be #15-5409.  
  
  It is unknown at this time if Victim was ever in the canoe.  The canoe had a type IV PFD but no wearable PFD on board.  Victim was not wearing a PFD.  The canoe did not have any registration and a check of the Point of Sale system did not show Victim purchasing a water usage stamp.
  
  The deputy coroner did an initial examination and found no signs of foul play, so no autopsy was conducted.  The family was notified and the cause of death was ruled accidental drowning.  A copy of Det. report is attached to this report.  Copies of photographs taken are also attached.
