RedactedNarrative: On Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at 11:29 Eastern Standard Time (EST), I received a call from KSP dispatch of a possible drowning in Green River around the 8 mile river marker. I arrived at the boat ramp below the spillway at 11:32 EST. I ran tag number KY 540-MCG, which was in the ramp parking lot, and it came back to a white Ford registered to subject. I then responded to the Roachville Ford area of Green River, where Taylor County Rescue was unloading their rescue boats to search for the reported victim, at 11:44 EST. I was told to proceed to a bottom field on the river, on Tucker Road, where Taylor County Rescue (T.C.R.) member was with one of the persons involved in the incident. I arrived on Tucker Road location at 13:06 EST. 
   
  I was advised that his personnel had picked up Subject, who had paddled his canoe to the river shore and was sitting on the bank. T.C.R. brought Subject across the river to where I met them. Subject’s 16’ canoe was left sitting on the river bank, where they had found him (Coordinates: 37 13’ 19.84” N -85 23’55.55’ W). Subject was dry and visibly shook up. Subject started having chest pains and took Nitroglycerin pills for the pain he was having. Before T.C.R. transported Subject to the awaiting ambulance, they asked that I pat down Subject for weapons. With Subject’s permission, I did a thorough search of his person. Subject was transported to Taylor County Hospital, where he was treated. During this time, KSP Post 15, advised me that Subject had an arrest warrant from Metcalfe County; for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana less than 8 oz. 
   
  I arrived at Taylor County Hospital at 14:40 EST, where I interviewed Subject, while he was in exam room. Subject asked that I write out his statement for him because he was shaking too bad to do so. 
  Subject stated that he and Victim, his friend, whom he didn’t remember his last name, met at Subject’s house around 08:00 EST on 3-25-15. Subject stated after having breakfast they left Victim’ truck, a white Toyota, by Green River at an access point by the Armory, which is below the Fairgrounds in Greensburg. Victim got into the car with Subject and they proceeded to Taylor County where they launched two canoes, both belonging to Subject, in the river at the ramp access below the dam. Subject stated they started their trip down river around 10:00 EST. 
   
  Subject said they had gotten to approximately river mile marker 8 when he looked back up river and saw Victim was out of his canoe. Victim’ canoe was a 15’9, Blue Hole canoe, red in color. Subject stated that he started trying to paddle up stream to Victim. Subject stated he was around 100 yards ahead of Victim when he observed Victim was in the water, hanging on to the canoe. Subject said he saw Victim, while still holding on to the canoe, hit a log, that was overhanging the river. Victim and the canoe went under the water. Then, both Victim and the canoe resurfaced. After Victim and the canoe resurfaced, Victim got separated from his canoe. Victim went under a second time, came back up, went under a third time, and came up again. Victim stayed above water a few seconds this time, while still trying to swim. Subject stated Victim went under a fourth time and did not resurface again. Subject stated he was around 6 feet from Victim, when Victim went under the water the last time. Subject stated that Victim had a life jacket in his canoe, but he was not wearing it. The estimated location of the incident is coordinates: 37 13’21.85” N-85 23’22.89” W. 
   
  Subject said he then paddled his canoe, a 16’ Bell canoe, Tan in color, to the river bank and called 911. Taylor County 911 received his call at 11:18 EST. Subject remained at this location until he was picked up by T.C.R. personnel. Subject stated that he and Victim had used these canoes around 10 times since January of this year, and had around 30 hours of water travel in these same canoes. 
  
  Later this same date, while T.C.R. wa
