RedactedNarrative: On 6/18/2022, Operator and Subject1 were fishing in the East Outlet of the Kennebec River. Operator was rowing his Flycraft inflatable boat and Subject1 was in the front. 
  
  About 1155 hours they became stuck on a section of rapids and rocks on the river right. Three other float boats witnessed and videoed the event. Operator was stuck on the rocks for about 5 minutes when his boat turned sideways and overturned. There were 2, Type 3 PFD’s in the boat but neither Operator or Subject1 were able to get to them. 
  
  Both Operator and Subject1 were wearing fishing waders, Operator had a wading belt that was not tightened. Subject1 was not wearing a wading belt but had a rain jacket over his waders. Subject1 stated he heard Operator yell one time and then he did not see him again. 
  
  Subject1 was floating ahead of the boat and was able to grab the boat and get to shore. Operator’s waders filled with water and he was not seen again. The water in the river was lowered and about 1400 hours, Operator’s body was located about 500 yards down-stream in the center of the river. His waders were full of water and had stopped on a section of rocks. The office of Maine’s Chief Medical Examiner determined Operator’s cause of death was drowning.
