RedactedNarrative: On the morning of friday april 3, 2015, five friends/co-workers traveled from la grange, nc to wiggins mill reservoir located in wilson, nc to go fishing. The five friends rented two jon boats and trolling motors from the boat dock and proceeded to go fishing. Three were fishing in one jon boat ( 1), and two were fishing in the other boat (boat 2). Exiting the boat ramp, both boats headed north fishing in spots along the right bank of the reservoir. Boat 2 stopped in two different locations, dropped the anchor, and fished for approximately 15 minutes each time they stopped. Boat 1 was fishing ahead of boat 2 by this point and when boat 2 reached the third and final spot, they anchored to fish. Boat 1 was close by and saw where they were located and moved further northwest out of boat 2's view. 
  
  Subject1 was fishing in the front of the boat and Operator1 was fishing in the back of the boat. The bow of the boat was facing the main section of the lake. Subject1 and Operator1 were talking and subject1 looked over his shoulder and noticed Operator1's eyes looking up with his arms rigidly held out in front of his chest. Operator1 had suffered from seizures in the past but had not recently had one according to his family. Operator1 was sitting down facing out the right side of the boat. Operator1 started leaning forward over the side of the boat. Subject1 reached with his right arm trying to grab Operator1 with his right hand, but only brushed against Operator1's left side. Subject1 reached with his left hand and was unable to reach Operator1. Operator1 fell into the water and never resurfaced. Subject1 reached into the water in the area around the boat feeling for Operator1. Subject1 grabbed an oar and stuck it in the water to try and feel around for Operator1. Subject1 called his friends in boat 1, told them what happened and told them to call 911. After hanging up the phone, subject1 also called 911. Boat 1 arrived at boat 2's location and wilson police and ems arrived on scene. 
  
  Two friends from boat 1 entered the water which was approximately 5 feet deep. The two felt around with their feet while holding on to the boat. They were able to locate Operator1 and bring him to the surface. Operator1 was under water for approximately 15 minutes. The wilson police department and emt transported Operator1 back to the boat ramp where an ambulance was standing by to transport him to the hospital in wilson. Two subjects were not wearing pfds, but there were two pfds in their boat. Neither of the men in boat 2 were able to swim.
