RedactedNarrative: On May 26, 2014 at approximately 1412 hours, I received a phone call from Cpl telling me to call Sgt. about a possible drowning and or boating incident on Lake Lanier.  I called Sgt. at 1414 hours.  Sgt. told me a male was fishing with his father under the Lula Bridge on Hwy 52, when the boat started getting close to the piling. The young male pushed off the piling of the bridge and fell overboard, causing him to gulp in water and shortly lose consciousness. Sgt. told me the father jumped in after him. Two witnesses showed up on kayaks, called EMS and administered CPR.  The victim was transported to North East Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, GA.
  
            At approximately 1646 hours, Sgt. told me he had an update on Victim from his nurse saying Victim was on a ventilator in critical condition responding to medicine.  Sgt. said Victim’s health history included having an internal defibulator and a brain shunt.
  
       On June 3, 2014, I called Subject to get information for the boating incident report.  I asked him about Victim’s condition.  Subject told me Victim had been released and was doing fine, as if nothing had ever happened to him. We spoke of the incident and he told me how pleased he was with the Rangers who assisted him and his son with the incident.  
  
  Based on the physical evidence at the scene, the statements of Ranger, and the witness statements it is my opinion that two people were fishing under the Lula Bridge on Lake Lanier when Victim tried to push off the piling of the bridge and fell overboard.  Victim gulped in water unexpectedly and started having trouble swimming.  Subject jumped in after him and got Victim back in the boat with assistance from two female witnesses. CPR was administered until EMS arrived.  EMS transported Victim to NE GA Medical Center for medical treatment.  Victim was placed on a ventilator and administered medication. He fully recovered in the hospital after six days and was released on May 31, 2014 having no further implications.
