RedactedNarrative: On 2 February 2019, Subject1 and his grandson were boating on Wheeler Lake. Once passing under the Southern Rail Road Bridge, he looked left toward the south bank and saw a boat floating unoccupied. The boat was under the front bow of a moored barge, near the Port of Decatur, at mile marker 304.4. He approached the boat and noticed the trolling motor was in the down position. At 1355 hours, he called 911 Decatur Central Dispatch and reported what he saw. The Morgan County Rescue Squad was paged out with Decatur Fire and Rescue to the scene. As soon as they came out of the boat house and entered the river channel, they spotted a male body floating face down in the water, without a life jacket on, near mile marker 303.6. The body was recovered and identified by the Morgan County Coroner. 
  
  Decatur PD dispatched a unit to Victim''s address and made contact with a neighbor who gave them Victim''s next of kin information. The next of kin, a sister, was then notified by the Morgan County Coroner. The neighbor also reported that Victim was going through cancer treatments and was thought to be weak physically. Both the truck and boat were recovered by Ted''s Towing Service and secured at their lot in Moulton, Alabama. There are no witnesses to the accident. 
  
  There were no transfer marks indicating a collision, only rust "rub" marks from the boat coming to a rest alongside the moored barge. His next of kin stated he was not a good swimmer and most likely would not have been able to re-board the vessel on his own. He was not wearing a life jacket; however, one Type III jacket was found at the drivers station with the kill switch still attached. The water temperature at the time of the accident was 44 degrees and a strong current, 1.3 miles per hour, was also present. An autopsy and toxicology report were requested through the Morgan County DA and was conducted on Monday 4 February. Cause of death was determined to be drowning, with cold water immersion and Victim''s physical weakness as contributors. Strong river currents also contributed. Results of the toxicology report were negative.
