RedactedNarrative: On july 10, 2020 at approximately 0800 hours i, indiana conservation officer, along with ico, arrived on scene at eagle creek reservoir after we were notified that a body had been recovered in the area where a subject was believed to have drowned two days prior. At the scene, myself and ico gathered information from indianapolis metropolitan police department, park rangers and pike township firefighters to learn what had happened leading up the body being found. 
  
  According to pike fire department and the impd park rangers on scene, on july 8, 2020 at approximately 1530 hours, they responded to a drowning at 7602 walnut point road at eagle creek reservoir. It was learned that a male subject had fallen off of a paddle boat and had drowned. A female subject was also on the paddle boat with victim at the time he fell in. Subject1 dove into the water to help victim, but she was unsuccessful. Four others were all present as well but were not on the boat with victim and subject1 when victim fell in. 
  
  Pike township fire department and indiana conservation officers searched the reservoir that evening until 2030 hours. The following morning, july 9, 2020, pike fire department and ico’s searched eagle creek reservoir but did not find any sign of victim. 
  
  On july 10, 2020 at 0545 hours, pike firefighters located a body floating in the reservoir near the bank of the dam about 500 yards northeast of the area where victim fell in. The water temperature was 90 degrees at the surface and 83 degrees on the bottom at a depth of 8-12 feet. The body was then brought back to the marina.
  
  	ico and i then arrived on scene and shortly after, marion county coroner’s office personnel informed us that they were unable to id the body that was recovered because it did not fit all descriptions given by friends and family. They were also unable to get fingerprints at that time. There were no external injuries or signs or trauma on the body. Victim’s father agreed to give dna so that the coroner’s office could confirm if the recovered subject was victim. 
  
  	three days later, the dna results showed that the body was in fact victim. According to two people, victim had been on the paddle boat for over three hours and was peddling the entire time. Their group of friends arrived at the reservoir between 1200 and 1300 hours. Around 1500 hours that day, high winds from a storm that had moved into the area made the water conditions choppy and waves began rocking the boat. 
  
  Subject1 and subject2 then stated that shortly after this, victim fell in. He was not wearing a lifejacket and the winds quickly blew the boat away from where he had fallen into the water. Subjectsboth believed that victim was tired from peddling on the boat for several hours that afternoon. Their accounts of how victim drowned was very similar to what other witnesses told the impd park rangers as well.
