  NARRATIVE
  
  DISPATCH
  Monday, March 8, 2021, while working at Quail Creek State Park, I was dispatched to a welfare check of a male who had gone fishing at Quail Creek Reservoir.  Dispatch stated the reporting person was the male's wife and VICTIM had left home around 9:00 am that morning with his green fishing boat, Utah bow registration.  It was also stated that the boat had battery issues in previous fishing situations and he had health issues with blood pressure and being weak. 
  
  SEARCH
  I searched in the DWR Quagga program for the Utah bow number and found the boat had been entered into the system at 9:54 a.m.  I went to the boat ramp and found VICTIM's vehicle parked near the north boat ramp.  I informed dispatch that I had located VICTIM's vehicle and would be launching the patrol boat.  Once on the water, I began searching the north end of the reservoir.  The wind had blown most of the day with sudden bursts of strong north winds.   I was not seeing any red, green, or white navigation lights and informed dispatch that I needed back up to look for VICTIM because how dark it was.  Multiple Hurricane City Officers came and began searching from the highway and on the water's edge.  Search and Rescue was also dispatched to the scene.   I called Ranger with Sand Hollow State Park to bring his patrol boat to assist with the search. 
  
  RECOVERY
  Once Search and Rescue was on scene, I was informed that Life Light would be coming to help with the incident.  Shortly after Search and Rescue launched their boat, Life Light arrived on scene and was instructed to start their search in the northern part of the reservoir due to the northern winds all day.  Approximately, five minutes after beginning their search, they located a green fishing boat in a north eastern cove, in a group of trees.  Search and Rescue members and I boarded a boat and headed towards Life flight's directions.  We located the VICTIM's boat and began walking the shoreline.  About 50 feet west of VICTIM's boat we located a straw hat.  We continued to walk west and approximately 50 feet; we located what appeared to be a male's body in a prayer position with his face down towards the ground in the water.  The male's body was VICTIM and his temperature was measured with an infrared thermometer at 32 degrees.  He was located at approximately 2123 hours.  Search and Rescue began their investigation and taking photos.  They loaded the body into an orange water bag and loaded the body onto their boat.  We drove the boat back to the north dock and unloaded VICTIM onto the cement. 
  
  INVESTIGATION
  I began taking photos and video of Search and Rescue's investigation.  Attached to the boat, there were two fish on his stringer and one was still alive.  All his fishing gear was in the boat, including a life vest.  I located a fast food bag with wrappers inside and water bottles.  The trolling motor was in the up position and there was a battery not being used in the bow of the boat.  I looked in VICTIM's vehicle and found his cell phone and debit card sitting in plain view.   VICTIM's vehicle keys were located on his person, in his back pocket, and we used them to unlock the vehicle where we located VICTIM's wallet which held his driver's license.
