RedactedNarrative: On October 4, 2015 at approximately 8:11 PM Florida Fish and Wildlife (FWC) Dispatch Center was notified by US Coast Guard Sector Miami that a search and rescue operation was ongoing in an attempt to locate a missing person. According to the complaint, a kayak with two individuals on board capsized in an area south of the Broad Causeway, near a spoil island, sending both occupants into the water. One of the individuals was able to swim to the island. His friend was reported missing after Survivor lost sight of him. On October 5, 2015 at approximately 08:05 AM, during the search and rescue phase of the investigation, the body of Victim was found within a close proximity of the accident. 
   
  Survivor stated that Victim was the operator of the kayak at the time of the accident. He also mentioned that Victim was a poor swimmer, this information was later corroborated by Victim wife. He also admitted that they did not have life jackets on board at the time of the accident and that they had only used this kayak on two previous occasions. 
   
  According to Survivor, he was the passenger on the rear seat and was using his phone when the kayak began to take on water through the rear compartment which, as stated before, was missing its cover. Suddenly, the kayak capsized, sending both individuals into the water with their phones, wallets, and other personal belongings. The kayak went underwater after approximately 5 minutes after both occupants were ejected and it became impossible to use it as a floatation device. Survivor, who is a strong swimmer, decided to swim to the nearby island, but Victim struggled to grab Survivor several times in a desperate attempt to remain afloat. Survivor, in fear for his own life, removed his outer clothing and swam to the island, a distance of approximately 100 feet. Once on the island, Survivor looked back and attempted to obtain a visual position of Victim while calling his name but he was not able to find him. At that point, Survivor began to scream for help, attempting to get the attention of boaters in the area while there was still day light. The operator of vessel “About Time” contacted the US Coast Guard for assistance via VHF Channel 16.
