RedactedNarrative: V-1 was found circling unoccupied in the Rim Canal near Marker 88. V-1's passenger seat back was broken off and laying on the rear casting deck. Operator of V-1 could not be located at that time. Appears the operator was ejected out the port side, across the passenger seat. 
  
  On Sunday November 16th 2014 at approximately 16:45 hrs, Operator was operating his vessel in a southerly direction in the Rim canal, near Okeechobee Waterway Route 2, Marker 88. His speed was 35 mph at 16:45:42. Based on the evidence and observations of the vessel after the fact, it appears that Operator turned off his GPS. Operator continued traveling in a southerly direction for 1 minute. During this time Operator traveled .5 mile to Marker 89. At 16:46:40, Operator may have turned loose of the steering wheel and turned the GPS back on. During this time the engine’s torque would have abruptly steered the vessel to the right. If Operator was riding on top of the seat back, he would have been thrown toward the port side of the vessel. This abrupt turn caused him to lose his balance and land violently on the passenger seat back. This would explain the GPS in the down position and the windshield being pulled loose as he would have attempted to hold on. Operator then would have continued overboard exiting the vessel over the port gunwale behind mid ship. The impact Operator experienced, would have been significant and possibly dazed him enough that he could not try to swim. At this time the vessel’s engine cavitated and the engine went into safe mode. The vessel then continued traveling in clockwise circles until it came to rest in vegetation near Marker 88. The throttle was still at 66% but the speed of the vessel gradually decreased due to it being in the safe mode. 
  On Tuesday November 18th 2014 at approximately 12:35 Operator’s body was located near Marker 89. It was turned over to the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner for cause of death. 
  Until further information is received, this concludes my investigation in this case. ;No significant injuries distinguishable at the time of recovery. Waiting on Medical Examiners findings.
