RedactedNarrative: On October 1, 2015 at approximately 1215 subject was attempting to load his boat onto it's trailer at Lake Jericho. His brothers were out of the vessel at this time backing the trailer down the ramp. As reported by brothers, the vessel began to take on water from the stern. It was also reported that the cause of this was due to a malfunction of the bilge pump. I witnessed the plug still applied to the drain hole after the boat was pulled out of the water. At this time subject put on a Personal Flotation Device. The boat began to take on large amounts of water until only the bow was visible. Victim began to swim, but as reported by his brothers, he soon became motionless. His body then floated from the wind approximately 100 yards from the boat ramp. Oldham County water rescue, who was notified by KSP Post 5, made the recovery of the body. Due to the PFD the body was still floating. As logged in the CAD, Victim was determined to be deceased at 1314. From the Preleminary Autopsy Report, submitted to me by Coroner, it was determined death was caused by hypertensive cardiovascular disease. Thus it was not determined to be a drowning.
