RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, November 22nd, 2020 at approximately 1600 hours, one male was on a vessel on the Southeast side of Lake Nixon. The vessel is 12' in length, has an aluminum constructed hull, and is silver in color.  One witness observed the victim on the vessel approximately 15-20 feet from shore prior to the incident occurring. 
  
  For an unknown reason, the victim went overboard and was not seen alive again. The victim was located by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office dive team on the water bottom in close proximity to the vessel. He was pronounced deceased on scene. The vessel and victim were brought back to the shoreline of the owner's residence. The Medical Examiner's Office responded to the scene and picked up the decedent. 
  
  Based on evidence and information gathered to date, the following conclusions have been made:
  
  The cause of this incident is unknown.  There were no witnesses to the actual incident, however several possible contributing factors were noted.  
  
  The victim:
  •	Was not wearing a PFD, and did not have a PFD on board V-1. 
  •	Did not know how to swim.
  •	Was last seen wearing boots that could hinder his ability to stay afloat.
  
  There are no independent witnesses to the incident. While subject1 was seated on the shoreline, there were inconsistencies with her statement. She did state that she did not see victim go in the water. Family members and friends have made me aware that she has dementia. Victim was last seen in a boat on Lake Nixon, and for an unknown reason went into the water and did not resurface.
