RedactedNarrative: On August 9th 2016, Office contacted Sgt#1 about a possible boat accident in Hardin Co. on July 5th 2016.  I checked with the Hardin Co. Sheriff's Office and discovered that there was in fact a boat accident that resulted in a drowning on the date in question, but the KY Dept. of Fish & Wildlife was not made aware of it.  I obtained a copy of the report from the deputy (Deputy#1) who responded to the scene and discovered that a Victim#1 had capsized a kayak and drown in a pond on his own property.  Victim#1 was rowing the kayak across the pond while his wife (Wife#1) and two juvenile grandchildren watched.  Victim#1 told the deputy that she had just received the kayak the day before from her place of employment, for 25 years of service.  She also stated that Victim#1 had never operated a kayak before, but was going just fine when he flipped over.  Victim#1 appeared to move his arms very slowly after he flipped, but then all movement stopped and he didn't resurface.  I also learned from the deputies report that Hardin Co. 911 was called at approx 6:25 P.M.  Fire & Rescue along with EMS were sent to the scene, and Rescue recovered Victim#1’s body form the pond.  The Coroner was then contacted and once at the scene pronounced Victim#1 dead.  Hardin Co. EMS transported the body to Coroner's office.  Coroner's preliminary thoughts were that Victim#1 may have suffered from a slight heart attack which resulted in him drowning, but since receiving the medical examiners report we know this not to be true.  The information contained in this narrative was derived from Deputy#1’s report and a conversation with him.  I confirmed the information in the report and asked a few other questions, such as if there was a PFD at the scene of the accident.  Deputy#1 stated that he did not see any PFD at the scene.  Other information was obtained through Hardin Co. 911 and the medical examiners report.  Deputy#1's report is attached as a witness statement and the medical examiners final diagnosis is attached.  Wife#1 was not interviewed; Sgt#1 and I did not feel as though it was essential to interview Wife#1 about the accident since so much time had passed from the time of the accident and the time this report is being completed.
