RedactedNarrative: Events as described by adult passenger on vessel 1, also wife of deceased 1. 
  
  On july 9, 2017, on damariscotta lake, at approximately 1600 hours, passengers on vessel 1 were being pulled on a tube behind vessel 1, being operated by deceased 1. Vessel 1 ran out of gas and vessel 1 occupants flagged down a boat with occupants that were unknown to them and they were towed to vessel 2's location. 
  
  Occupants of vessel 1 and vessel 2 arrived at damariscotta lake together that day and they are friends and neighbors of one another and were boating together throughout the day. Vessel 2 and vessel 1 were tied together by a 100' rope; with approximately 30' of rope between the two vessels and the remainder of the length of rope trailing in the water at a distance to exceed the length of vessel 1. 
  
  Adult passenger in vessel 1 states that her husband, deceased 1, consumed two "twisted tea" alcoholic beverages while their vessel was being towed back toward the boat landing at launch lane in jefferson, where the occupants of both vessel 1 and vessel 2 were parked. 
  
  Adult passenger of vessel 1 described additional consumption of "twisted tea" alcoholic beverage by deceased 1 throughout the day, no specific quantity was known. When the vessels were approximately 200 yards from the boat launch at launch lane, the adult passenger on vessel 1 turned to look at deceased 1, who was previously sitting in the operator's seat in the boat; deceased 1 was no longer sitting in the seat and was not visible in the boat. 
  
  Adult passenger on vessel 1 walked to the back of the boat and looked into the water and she observed deceased 1, face down in the water behind the boat. She hollered at vessel 2 occupants to stop and she reached down and grabbed a white rope that was in the water and appeared to be connected to deceased 1. As adult passenger of vessel 1 pulled the white rope, deceased 1 was pulled toward the boat. At the time when deceased 1 reached the vessel, one passenger on vessel 2 jumped into the water to reach deceased 1. 
  
  Two other passengers on vessel 2 jumped into vessel 1 and they, together with the passenger from vessel 2 that was in the water, and the adult passenger on vessel 1, all lifted deceased 1 into vessel 1. Female passenger of vessel 2 states that deceased 1 was blue when he was pulled from the water. As vessel 2 continued towing vessel 1 back to launch lane, a passenger from vessel 2 and the adult passenger from vessel 1, who is also deceased 1's wife, performed cpr until they could be relieved by others at the boat landing. 
  
  While approaching the boat landing, occupants of both vessels flagged down another boat passing by and requested that witness to call 911. Witness states that deceased 1 was not breathing and vomited several times during cpr prior to ems arrival on scene. Another witness arrived at the boat landing via watercraft and also began cpr until central lincoln county ambulance arrived and began life saving efforts. They were unable to revive deceased 1 and they pronounced him dead on scene. Lincoln county sheriff's department responded and assisted by collecting written statements from occupants of vessel 2 and 2 witnesses. 
  
  They also provided the operator of vessel 2 with a "lincoln county sheriff's office consent to drawing of blood form", which operator of vessel 2 voluntarily signed and agreed to having on scene ems perform the blood draw. Lincoln county sheriff's department retained custody of the operator of vessel 2's blood draw. Daigle funeral home arrived on scene and took custody of deceased 1.
