RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS:
  On May 28, 2022, at approximately 1600 hours, Chief and I were readying a patrol vessel to launch in the Wahweap Bay area of Lake Powell.  At this time, we heard radio traffic from Dispatch to a drowning at the Lone Rock Beach in Kane County, UT.  We responded in my patrol truck, and arrived on scene after several NPS Rangers.  Bystanders had begun CPR on the individual.  The individual was recovered to shore and transported by ambulance to a hospital in Page, AZ.  At the time of transport, the individual was conscioud.
  
  INVESTIGATION:
  INCIDENT and RESPONSE to SCENE:
  A party of five individuals set out across the bay from Lone Rock Beach in Kane County, UT, on inflatable paddle craft.  SUBJECT1 was alone on a small, single person inflatable paddle raft. SUBJECT2 and SUBJECT3 were on a stand up paddle board.  SUBJECT4 and SUBJECT5 were on an inflatable kayak.  At approximately 15:45 hours, a strong wind picked up from the southwest.  At this time, the party had only been in the water for 5-10 minutes.  The party was within the wakeless area still, only approximately 50 yards from shore.  As the wind picked up, all members of the party struggled to get back to shore.  SUBJECT1 was blown off of her raft.  SUBJECT1 was not wearing a PFD, and she did not have one onboard.  It is unknown whether this was due to wind only, or waves caused by the wind.  
  
  As SUBJECT1's vessel capsized, SUBJECT4 and SUBJECT5 were blown from the area.  They were unable to paddle back to the rest of the party.  They were later recovered by an uninvolved vessel, and returned to shore.  
  
  SUBJECT2 and SUBJECT3 had two PFDs onboard, but only SUBJECT2 was wearing his.  It became clear that SUBJECT1 was struggling in the water, so SUBJECT3 jumped off the paddle board to assist SUBJECT1.  SUBJECT1 continued to struggle, causing SUBJECT3 to fear she may be overpowered and drowned.  She struggled to free herself from SUBJECT1, and began screaming for help.  Nearby people on the beach heard and came to assist.  Together, they were able to get SUBJECT1 to an inflated pad approximately 25 yards from shore, but SUBJECT1 had gone unconscious, presumably having drowned.  It is unknown if SUBJECT1 completely stopped breathing or lost a pulse, but she was unresponsive.  The bystanders from the shore began CPR on SUBJECT1, on the inflated mat.
  
  NPS Rangers were the first to arrive on scene, and Ranger swam out and retrieved the mat back to the shore.  CPR continued and SUBJECT1 regained some level of consciousness.  Chief and I arrived at this time.  We assisted in carrying SUBJECT1 to the ambulance.  NPS Rangers were assisting SUBJECT1 to walk, and Chief instructed us to pick her up, and not make her walk.  As I picked up SUBJECT1's left leg, I observed her mumbling and moaning.  I could detect the odor of an alcoholic beverage.  This was also observed by another person, who commented on it afterward.  The other person also stated SUBJECT1 vomited on him.  
  
  SUBJECT1 was then loaded into an NPS ambulance that had arrived on scene.  She was placed on and secured to a gurney.  I retrieved a blanket and placed it over her.  I then exited the ambulance and closed the doors, as large amounts of sand were being blown in.  SUBJECT1 was then transported to a hospital in Page, AZ.
  
  SPEAKING WITH PARTY:
  Chief and I then began speaking with SUBJECT2 and SUBJECT3.  They relayed the story of what happened and notified us of SUBJECT4 and SUBJECT5.  We advised dispatch of an additional kayak in the water that was unaccounted for.  A recovery boat was dispatched out, but located the party shortly after they were recovered by the private vessel.  SUBJECT4 and SUBJECT5 confirmed most of what was stated by SUBJECT2 and SUBJECT3, but they did not witness much after they were blown away.  SUBJECT2 confirmed that SUBJECT1 had consumed alcohol, stated that she had drank maybe two seltzers. The indivi
