RedactedNarrative: On February 9, 2019 Operator met several friends at the Catahoula Duck Club and Lodge located in Rapides Parish for a bachelor party.  At approximately 4:00pm Operator left the company of his friends and went by himself to run his Pro Drive (flat bottom boat) in Catahoula Lake located in sight of the lodge.  As Operator was returning a witness said that Operator could be seen standing while operating the vessel at a high rate of speed.  Witnesses stated that Operator cut the vessel hard to the left causing the mud boat to chine-walk across the water when suddenly the vessel caught a chine causing the vessel to quickly stop the sideways motion resulting in Operator to be thrown from the vessel.  
  
  The vessel continued its path toward the bank until running upon land and jumping the road.  Operator could be seen at the surface of the water and was hollering for help.  Operator was said to have yelled for help 3 times before going under but witnesses were unable to get to his aid.  Subject1 ran to the vessel and turned the key to the off position to kill the motor once the vessel had stopped. 
  
  On February 10, 2019, Operators body was recovered at approximately 9:40am.  The Rapides Parish Coroner took possession of Operator's body and the autopsy report stated that the manner of Operators death was ruled an accident caused by drowning with contributions of hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and obesity (BMI=36).
