RedactedNarrative: On Monday, August 15, 2016 at approximately 0200hrs, I, Ofc. of the Criminal Investigations Section was notified by Sgt. to respond to Rock Hall Harbor in reference to a drowning that had occurred south of Swan Point and west of Windmill Point. Sgt., the SOD Duty Officer, also told me that the Underwater Operations Team (UOT) would be activated. 
  
  Upon my arrival, I was briefed by Sgt., the Area 2 Duty Officer. Sgt. told me that a 21' Custom Fiberglass boat had overturned at the above listed incident location. Sgt.. stated that three people were on board; two had been located by Galena and Chestertown Rescue Squads and the third was still unaccounted for. One subject was transported to Chester River Hospital for evaluation. The 2nd subject was evaluated at the scene.
  
   The vessel remained at the incident location, overturned, and marked with buoys for safety
   Upon the arrival of the Underwater Operations Team (UOT), at approximately 0800hrs, members responded back to the incident location and side scan SONAR was deployed by Cpl. and Ofc., while Ofc. conducted a search of the area near the vessel. Ofc. located the missing person deceased near the vessel, on the bottom, in approximately eight feet of water. The decedent was transported to shore via Boat 8 of the Chestertown Rescue Squad. Forensic Investigator from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) responded, and the decedent was subsequently transported to the OCME for autopsy. The decedent's family was on the scene and notified.
  
   The investigation revealed that the three subjects were fishing (recreational) on board the above described vessel at the incident location. The three subjects had arrived to the area at approximately 1730-1800hrs and were periodically checking the weather radars on their phones. Information gathered revealed that they were aware of the storms on the western shore of the bay but their location remained clear. At approximately 2000hrs, a strong storm approached their location and the waves began to increase in size. Subject1 described the waves as being greater than 6' in height. At some point, a wave breached over the stern of their boat and before subject1 could do anything, a second wave came over the stern. Subject1 said that the outboard motor "cut out" and the vessel began to fill with water. Due to the weight of the persons, gear on board, and the stern filling with water, the vessel capsized.
