RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 1, 2020 at approximately 1711 hours, I Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police were dispatched to a report of vessel in distress at Hart-Miller Island. Officer and myself responded onboard patrol vessel NRP-851. Corporal also responded on board patrol vessel NRP-892.
  
  Upon arrival Baltimore County Police Marine Unit as well as Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire were on scene. Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire removed one unresponsive subject from the water, who was later transported to the hospital. One uninjured passenger of the vessel was left onboard.
  
  On August 1, 2020 at approximately 1715 hrs. I, Cpl., was notified by Capt. (S.O.D Duty Officer) of a missing person from a vessel, in the area of Hart Miller Island. While en route to the scene, I was notified that the missing subject had been recovered from the water and EMS personnel were performing CPR. EMS advised that the victim was going to be transported to Bayview Medical Center. 
  
  The victim had been fishing with his friend in a 14’ aluminum vessel, near Hart Miller Island. Subject1 stated that he had gotten out of the vessel to urinate. When Subject1 attempted to pull himself back into the boat, “it tipped and filled with water”. Both occupants were now in the water. 
  
  Subject1 stated that Victim was clinging to a PFD bag and began “swimming around”. Subject1 yelled to Victim to swim towards shore. When Subject1 made it to shore, he had lost sight of Victim and he began searching.  Subject1 stated that other boaters began searching and a “Good Samaritan” called 911. I arrived at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and met with Emergency Room staff. 
  
  Subject1 said that the victim frequently spent weekends with Subject1 and his wife at their Sparrows Point residence. Victim had starting consuming beer at approximately 0800 hrs and continued to drink thru the day. Subject1 said that they had decided to go fishing around 1400 hrs. 
  
  Subject1 said that they decided to heads towards Hart-Miller Island and fish near the jetty, approximately 100 yards from shore. While they were fishing, Subject1 stated that he had gotten out of the boat to urinate and when he was finished, he attempted to pull himself back into the boat. Subject1 grabbed the PVC railing above the gunnel (starboard side) and the vessel began to list. 
  
  Water conditions had deteriorated during the day and waves were becoming increasingly larger. Subject1 said that when he tried to pull himself into the boat, a wave "swamped" the vessel and both he and Victim had to exit the boat. Subject1 said that Victim grabbed a clear PFD bag containing several life-jackets and attempted to swim. 
  
  Subject1 said that he yelled to Victim to just stand up (water depth was 4'-5') but Victim continued to swim. Subject1 continued and said that he grabbed the line that was connected to the bow of the boat and was attempting to pull it closer to shore but was unable due to the weight. Subject1 said he continued in towards shore where he was met by several "Good Samaritans" who had collected items from the swamped boat. This is when he noticed that Victim was unaccounted and he and the "Good Samaritans" began searching and 911 was contacted.
  
  Approximately 1 hour later, Victim was recovered from the water by volunteer fire department personnel.
