RedactedNarrative: I, Corporal with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources-Law Enforcement Division, received a call from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office about a possible boating fatality on August 10, 2019 at approximately 1300 hours. I spoke with Cherokee County dispatch about the incident and was told to meet responding personnel at Little River Marina. I contacted DNR Corporal and Game Warden about the incident and met them on scene at the marina at approximately 1405 hours.
  
  I met with GW1 who had already made contact with the operator of the vessel involved in the incident, Operator2. GW1 had also talked to Operator2’s daughters who were passengers on the vessel at the time of the incident. They completed witness statements about the incident. I told GW1 to check Operator2 for any signs of impairment since he had already spent some time in speaking with the family. (See supplemental report and associated forms) I learned that a male subject had been transported to Kennestone Hospital in Marietta and a female was deceased and had been transported to Northside Hospital in Canton. I secured and inventoried the vessel Operator2 was operating which was tied to the end of the nearby dock.
  
  Operator2’s vessel was a rental boat from Park Marina which is located on Allatoona Lake. I called a rental manager at Park Marina. I told Rental manager about the incident and asked for consent to search and inventory the vessel for our report purposes. Rental manager did give me consent; the conversation was recorded on my department issued Vievue body camera. During the time I was speaking with Rental manager, I also noticed a personal watercraft tied to the courtesy dock across the channel at Cherokee Mills boat ramp. The PWC was later confirmed to be involved in the incident and belonged to Operator1. It was secured by Corporal  from the courtesy dock and pulled to the dock at Little River Marina. Corporal took Operator2 out in our DNR patrol vessel to determine the location of the incident. Operator2 noted a location to Corporal who later gave me the GPS coordinates for the overall diagram incident location.
  
  The vessel Operator2 was operating at the time of the incident was a black and white 2018 Bayliner 190 with Georgia registration GA 4813 LR. I began photographing the vessel and the contents as I found them about the vessel. The processing of the vessel is also recorded on my department issued Vievue body camera. I immediately noticed two opened cans of Corona beer in the cup holders at the passenger compartment of the bow. The vessel had the appropriate safety equipment as required by law. I saw in plain sight two 12 packs of beer; one Miller Lite and one Corona. I checked the cooler and accounted for all 24 beers.
  
  I saw a purple and black personal floatation device across the back seat of the vessel. I could immediately tell the PFD had been caught in the propeller of the engine due to the way it was twisted up and torn. I also could see what turned out to be the Deceased victim’s top portion of her blue swimming suit entangled in the PFD. I had GW1 assist with trimming the engine out of the water while I took photographs. I noticed a significant amount of damage to the propeller thrust housing as it was dented. This was not normal for operation and likely caused from the PFD becoming entangled in the propeller. I also photographed several small fibers, similar in color to the PFD, in the individual propeller blades.
  
  Corporal secured the PWC from Cherokee Mills boat ramp courtesy dock to the dock adjacent to the Park Marina vessel. He received permission to retrieve the trailer for the PWC which was located in the parking lot. I checked the PWC for
