RedactedNarrative: On 10\30\16 at approximately 09:40 Victim and Occupant were fishing in the Cumberland River just below the Wolf Creek Dam. Occupant stated that they were fishing up next to the wall of the dam in front of the generators and had drifted into the area where the dam was letting water out through the sluice gates. Occupant stated that Victim attempted to move the vessel away from the area the water was being discharged, but the electric trolling motor wasn't strong enough to overcome the draw of the current being produced by the large volume of water being put through the sluice gate. Victim then attempted to crank the boats main engine and it failed to start. Occupant said the boat was pulled under the water being sprayed into the air from the sluice gate and was quickly swamped as he jumped into the river. 
  
  Occupant and Victim were located a short time later and pulled to the bank by a couple of fishermen in a boat that just happened to see them in the river. Occupant was treated at the scene by Russell County EMS and refused any other treatment. Victim was administered CPR at the scene but efforts failed to resuscitate him and he was pronounced dead a short time later by Russell County Deputy Corner.
