RedactedNarrative: According to Witness and Victim statements obtained to date:
  
  On Tuesday, May 5, 2015, Deceased victim and Injured victim put a 13''4” Smokercraft V-bottom boat (Vessel 1) on the water at the John Sevier Steam Plant boat ramp in order to fish below the John Sevier Steam Plant Dam.  The John Sevier Steam Plant Dam is an approximately twenty-foot-high retention dam that has water flowing overtop a spillway which stretches approximately the width of the river.  Deceased victim and Injured victim arrived below the dam a little before 4:00 p.m.  As they approached the dam, Deceased victim killed the engine by pulling the choke on the engine until it died.  Injured victim placed the anchor in the water, but the anchor would not hold the vessel in place.  
  
  The vessel began to move toward the rough water just to the north of the former spill gates on the dam.  Deceased victim was unable to get the engine restarted while Injured victim held the boat off the dam using a paddle.  Deceased victim and Injured victim exchanged places.  Injured victim attempted to pull-start the engine several times.  Due to interference from his Type II Personal Floatation Device (PFD), Injured victim removed his PFD during this time.  As Injured victim was attempting to restart the engine, Deceased victim was unable to keep the stern of the vessel from coming around parallel to the dam.  
  
  Water began coming over the side until the boat swamped and rapidly capsized.  Deceased victim and Injured victim were thrown into the water, where Injured victim was able to climb onto the lower wall of the dam.  Injured victim felt Deceased victim grab at his thigh, which knocked Injured victim off the wall and into the roiling water below the dam.  This roiling water ripped Deceased victim''s PFD off, and Deceased victim apparently drowned.  Injured victim was rescued by two nearby fishermen.  They brought Injured victim to shore and notified Hawkins County 911 of the incident. Deceased victim''s body was spotted by two other fishermen. They stated that Deceased victim showed no signs of life, and they guided Deceased victim''s body to shore.
  
  Injured victim was transported to the Hawkins County Memorial Hospital by Hawkins County Emergency Medical Services, where he was admitted and treated overnight for his near drowning.  Deceased victim was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner, and transported to the Hawkins County Memorial Hospital Emergency Room by the Hawkins County Rescue Squad.  Deceased victim was then transported on to the Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University, where an autopsy was performed.  The Hawkins County Sheriff''s Department and the Hawkins County Emergency Management Agency assisted Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Officers at the scene.
