RedactedNarrative: FWC received notification from US Coast Guard Mayport of an overturned Kayak with 1 male subject suspected to be on board. A good Samaritan transported the subject to USCG Mayport where Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department arrived on scene and pronounced the subject deceased. The subject was transported to Baptist Medical Center Beaches and pronounced deceased at 1523HRS. This incident is being investigated by the North Central Investigations Section. 
  
  Based on the evidence and information gathered to date, on July 30th, 2022, Operator launched a 10ft Pelican Icon 100X Angler kayak and was fishing on the St. Johns River near the Mayport Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fl alone. During this time, for unknown reasons, Operator exited his kayak into the water, ultimately leading to his drowning. We could not establish an accurate timeline of events prior to the Good Samaritans finding Operator in the water because Operator was alone. Operator’s half-brother let Operator borrow the kayak but was unaware of when Operator was going fishing. None of the witnesses observed Operator exit his kayak into the water.; Probable Cause of Death- Drowning.
