RedactedNarrative: On 07/04/21 at approximately 2:55PM, Braidwood Police received an emergency call for assistance reference a kayaking incident.  At approximately 3:04PM, I [CPO] was notified that Braidwood Police were on scene, at Wilmington with subjects who were performing CPR on a large male subject who had reportedly fallen out of a kayak and was under water for approximately 30 minutes.  Intern and I proceeded to the area and arrived on scene at approximately 3:29PM.  The victim, later identified, had been transported to Morris Hospital, prior to my arrival.
  
  On scene, I spoke with two subjects who had been out kayaking with him prior to the incident.  The following is a summary of my conversation with the them and is not verbatim:
  Individuals went out kayaking a strip quarry on separate kayaks at approximately 12:00PM.  At some point, victim stated he was tired and instructed them to continue ahead of him, and meet back up with him upon their return.  They continued kayaking and did not notice him on their way back.  They returned to the boat ramp, at which time individual 1 checked his vehicle and individual 2 kayaked the opposite direction to look for him, unsuccessfully.  Individual 1 then returned to the area they had last seen victim, where he discovered his green kayak overturned and his body floating face down in the water, in close proximity.  Multiple passers-by assisted in removing him from the water onto a nearby dock, where CPR was performed.  He was transported via EMS to Morris Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  They estimated approximately 30-45 minutes had passed between the time they had last seen him and the time he was located face down in the water.  Per Individual 1, victim had been drinking that day, was on a lot of medication, was in very poor health and does not take care of himself, specifically noting he had heart surgery the previous year and had only followed up with that doctor one time since.  Per Operator 1, victim did not have a PFD on the kayak at the time of the incident.
  
  I was then escorted, via Braidwood Police, to the dock where EMS had picked up VICTIM.  I took a GPS point of the location (41.27682, -88.20378).  kayak was removed from the water by a neighbor and staged to be picked up at a later date.  I photographed the kayak and it''s contents.
  
  On 08/16/21, I received the toxicology results and full report from the Grundy County Coroner's office, both of which are attached to this report. VICTIM was
  found to have a BAC of 0.179%, "with additional central nervous system depressants". The coroner's report lists the immediate cause of death as
  DROWNING.
  NOTHING FURTHER TO REPORT. CASE CLOSED. EVIDENCE CLOSED.
