RedactedNarrative: On 05/19/2018 at approximately 1327 hours, I responded to 17543 Deer Isle Circle (John's Lake) in reference to a boating accident. While enroute I was advised that the victim was being transported to South Lake Hospital (Clermont) as a "code. 
  
  Master Deputy continued to the scene and I responded to the hospital. While I was enroute to the hospital, I learned that the victim, Victim was pronounced dead at 1420 hours. 
  Upon my arrival to the hospital, I met with Deputy First Class. 
  
  I learned the following: The victim (Victim) and his 13 year old grandson (reporter/witness) were fishing in a tournament on Johns Lake. Inclement weather was approaching and the victim and his grandson decided to head back to the boat ramp. While the victim was preparing the boat to go to the boat ramp, he fell into the water and when he came to the surface and was speaking to his grandson. 
  
  Orange County Fire Rescue responded to the scene and transported him to the hospital. I then met with the victims, ex-son-in-law. I told Occupant’s father that we are in the process of recovering Victim's boat and asked if he could provide a location to the whereabouts of Victim's truck keys, which had the boat trailer attached at the boat ramp.  He did not know the location, but advised he would go get a spare set of keys and meet me at the boat ramp with his son.
  
  I then responded to the boat ramp, where Master Deputy had moved the boat to shore from where it was recovered (28*32126" N/81*38139"W). I observed no damage to the vessel. The poles and fishing gear were all stowed. The bow/ transom seats were folded down, which possibly indicates they were getting ready to leave, because of the weather. A pair of sunglasses were found right next to the trolling motor on the deck of the boat. 
  
  I made contact with the grandson, age 13, while his father, Occupant’s father was present. Occupant stated the following: He and his Grandfather were fishing in the Orange County Bass tournament. They arrived early in the morning and were fishing all day. At approximately 1315 hours, the bad weather began to come in and they decided to leave. 
  
  As his Grandfather was lifting up the trolling motor, he tripped on the fishing poles, which were lying on the deck of the boat. He then saw his Grandfather fall out of the boat and into the water. After he fell into the water he quickly surfaced and told him (Occupant) to throw him a rope. Occupant said he threw him a rope and pulled him close to the boat. Once his Grandfather was close to the boat, he pulled himself to the back of the boat and held onto the transom. 
  
  Occupant then used the bow trolling motor to tow his grandfather approximately 50 yards to shore. As they were approaching the shore line, his Grandfather asked him "How much farther". He (Occupant) then looked back at his Grandfather and observed him passing out and going unconscious. 
  
  At this point he ran to the back of the boat and grabbed his Grandfathers arm and kept his head out of the water. He then jumped out of the boat and pulled his grandfather who was lying face up onto the shore. His grandfather was still unconscious and not breathing. He used the cell phone and called 911. 
  While he was on the phone with 911, he was answering questions from the operator and doing what they said. Emergency personal then arrived and took his Grandfather to the hospital. Occupant completed a sworn written statement. I asked Occupant if his Grandfather mentioned not feeling well during their time together that day. Occupant said "no". I also asked Occupant if his Grandfather was wearing a life jacket when he fell out of the boat. Occupant said "no.”
  
  Occupant’s father took possession of the truck (white 2005 Chevrolet pickup truck tag, trailer, and boat (2006 Triton) with all of it.  IT WAS DETERMINED LATER FROM THE MEDICAL EXAMINER THAT THE VICTIM DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES ATHEROSCLEROTIC AND HYPERTENSIVE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
