RedactedNarrative: At approximately 4:20 PM, Witness 1 observed Vessel 1 motor into the restricted area located at the southeast side of the Genoa Lock and Dam. Vessel 1 was occupied by a white male.
  
  Witness 1 stated that Vessel 1 Operator motored Vessel 1 to the southeast corner of the dam near where the dam rollers are located. Vessel 1 Operator attempted to anchor the vessel in this location but was unsuccessful in finding the bottom with the anchor. The current from the water traveling through the dam pushed Vessel 1 downstream.  After the current carried Vessel 1 downstream and away from the restricted area, Vessel 1 Operator started the motor and motored back towards the southeast side of the dam to try a second attempt at anchoring the vessel in the restricted area near the dam.   
  
  Witness 1 claimed that he hollered at the Operator and told him to get out of the restricted zone but the Operator did not respond.  Vessel 1 Operator attempted to drop anchor a second time. It was at this time that Vessel 1 started drifting backwards towards the dam rollers.   Vessel 1 Operator left the anchor in the water and moved toward the center of the boat and put on a PFD.   
  
  Vessel 1 spun counter-clockwise and dropped down over a hump in the water, caused by the moving water exiting the dam rollers. Vessel 1 was stuck parallel against the roller with the bow facing toward the east bank of the river. Vessel 1 Operator started the motor and attempted to motor out of the turbulent water but in doing so, the vessel capsized on the starboard side.  
  
  Vessel 1 Operator entered the water and ended up in a position between the capsized vessel and the roller gate. Operator 1 hung onto the center rib of the boat with his hands for a short period of time before being pulled under the surface of the water by the current. Operator/Victim dropped below the surface two times but did not resurface after going under a third time. 
  
  The Victim's body was recovered by Minnesota Conservation Officer approximately 30 minutes after he was last seen. MNDNR Officer reported that the Victim was deceased when recovered from the water.
