RedactedNarrative: .On 5/11/2021 at approximately 1640 I, Lt. was notified that the Marine Task force was being activated for a report a sunken boat in Greenwich Bay.  When I arrived the Oakland Beach boat ramp command post I met with Capt. from Warwick PD.  He told me that the Bristol FD boat had recovered one male victim and brought him to the dock.  Warwick EMS was attempting to revive him in the ambulance.  The victim had no ID on his person but using a photo from the DMV he was identified.  
  
  The reporting party had given the boat registration as 8590B which came back registered to Victim1 as well.  At approximately 1741 Victim1 was pronounced dead by Warwick EMS.  I contacted dispatch and asked them to call the medical examiner.  At 1801 we were told that Bristol FD had located female victim on the shore of Patience Island.  The victim was recovered, CPR was started and she was brought to the dock at Oakland beach.  She was also pronounced dead by Warwick EMS after being transferred to the ambulance. She also did not have an ID on her person but using a DMV photo she was identified as Victim2.  When she was recovered Victim2 was wearing a vest style PFD that was properly secured and was in functional condition.  It was removed by EMS so she could be treated.  Notification of Victim1 and Victim2's next of kin was made by Warwick Police. 
  
  The search continued for the boat and more victims but none were located.  They confirmed with the owner that the boat was kept there in a slip. 
  
  At 2115, I spoke with the original calling party.  He said he called Coast Guard Station Castle Hill via radio at approximately 1515 to report finding a sunken sailboat at position N41 39.1 W071 22.6.  He said only the bow of the boat was out of the water and he could only see about 2' of it.  He did several  circles around the boat for 2-300 yards but did not see any floating debris. He said Coast Guard Station Woods Hole called his cell phone at about 1545, he explained what was going on and they told him they would send a boat and that there was no reason for him to stay in the area.  He emailed me a written statement on 5/12/2021 which is included with this report.   
  
  I spoke with Victim2’s son at 2150.  He said he had not spoken to his mother this day and did not know what time they would have left the dock.  He said he had help victim1 and his mother refurbish the boat and that it was in good working order.  There were no structural issues with it that he knew of and he felt it was seaworthy. 
  
  On 5/12/2021 Officer viewed security cameras at Harbor Lights Marina and found that Victim1 and Victim2 left Warwick cove at approximately 1230.  It appeared that Victim2 was wearing the purple PFD she was found in.  It also appears that Victim1 is wearing an orange PFD but when he was recovered by Bristol FD he was not wearing one.  He was also only able to see two people in the vessel.   
  
  Between 5/12/2021 and 5/15/2021 serval boats and divers from DEM-DLE, Warwick PD, and the Marine Taskforce re-searched the area but were unable to locate the sailboat. 
  
  No further attempts to determination as to the cause of this accident can be made until the vessel is located and recovered.
