RedactedNarrative: Authorities received a report of a sailboat washed up on shore. A deputy located the boat, which was unoccupied. When the boat was inspected, there was no sign of injury. The jib and main sails were hoisted. The keel was resting on the lake's bottom. The boat had a small outboard motor on a lift system. The lift system was about 1/2 up from the lower setting. The fuel tank was about half full and the fuel tank's vent cap was open. The motor's chock was set in/off and the throttle was set at the start/restart setting. The gear selector was in neutral. The deputy asked the sheriff's office dispatch to contact the boat's owner by phone. There was no answer. They contacted the police department in the city of his residence to contact his home. The boat owner was not there but they talked to his wife who said her husband should be at the lake on his sail boat. 
  
  The deputy contacted the local marina and the dock crew stated the boat's owner "had taken the boat out about two hours ago." A search was started of the lake and the shoreline using a helicopter and also by boat using side scan sonar. The lake had a lot of heavy weed growth. Due to sunset, the search was concluded at 2200 hrs. It was started again the following day (6/1/17). At 1200 hrs, they found a hat on the lake bottom that matched the wife's description of the hat her husband wore. They focused their search in that area. At 1430 hrs, they spotted what appeared to be a body on the lake bed. The body was in eight feet of water and there was moderate weed growth around him. They recovered the body at about 1550. There were no obvious signs of trauma.
  
  The victim was not wearing a life jacket. Alcohol was not a factor. There was no damage to the watercraft. The incident was unwitnessed so it is unknown what caused him to fall overboard. He did have some health problems. It is also unknown what time the incident occurred but it was between 1130 and 1336 hours.
