RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS 
  
  On June 1st, 2014 a 27ft cabin motorboat, with four people on board, was anchored in the Gulf of Mexico. The vessel was approximately eight to nine miles west of Mullet Key, Saint Petersburg, Florida. At approximate 02:00 am the vessel began to take on water. Shortly after pulling anchor and attempting to get underway, the vessel filled with water and capsized. The four people on board ended up in the water with only one of them wearing a life jacket and the other three using a cooler as a flotation device. The four people decided to swim to a buoy about one to two miles south of them. During the swim to the buoy, one of the occupants drowned. The other three made it to the Buoy and were later rescued by a Good Samaritan. The vessel and the body of the person who drowned were never recovered. 
  
  They had set out at 5pm from the ramp and fished in the skyway area until 11pm-midnight.  After driving 30-45 minutes, they set anchor and fished for another hour.  They noticed that the boat started to take on water and that the bilge was turning off and on.  They noticed an increased chop.  They cut the anchor and headed back to shore.  Three of the four passengers moved to the front of the boat to keep it from going under.  They fired two flares.  One person started to panic, swallowing saltwater and began to foam at the mouth.  He became unconscious and unresponsive.
