RedactedNarrative: The passenger had spilled beer on himself and decided to jump into the lake to wash it off. He was wearing a tee shirt and jeans but wasn't wearing a life jacket. The operator stated the motor was off and they were drifting when the passenger jumped into the lake. The pontoon boat started drifting away from the man in the water and he started to swim toward it. 
  
  He started to struggle after about 2 minutes and started yelling for help as he couldn't catch the boat. Another passenger jumped into the water and tried to help, but the man started to pull her under so she swam back to the boat. The other male passenger jumped into the water to try to help, but he was also pulled under and had to let go to save himself. He then swam back to the boat. The operator then jumped into the water, but he couldn't find the man. 911 was called immediately. The man's body was recovered about 3 1/2 hours later. Life jackets were not being worn. Alcohol was a factor. There was no BAC taken for the operator, but he admitted to drinking half a beer.
