RedactedNarrative: On February 28, 2021 at approximately 5:00 P.M. (1700) this 110 HP 10 ft. seadoo PWC, Vessel 1 (LA 5897 EX), was being operated by Operator in Bayou Tigre with no passengers onboard.  Operator had little to no boating experience and was operating V1 without wearing the provided engine cutoff lanyard attached to his person and seats removed, exposing the engine.  
  
  While cruising/maneuvering V1, Operator made a sharp turn, fell overboard, V1 capsized and Operator never resurfaced.   The direction of the sharp turn is unknown.   
  
  His body was recovered at 8:36 P.M., deceased.  Operator did not know how to swim and was not wearing a personal floatation device as required while operating or riding on PWC's and is the main contributing factor of this incident.  
  
  Operator's blood tested positive for drugs and alcohol.  Drugs and alcohol have been shown to affect a person's ability to maintain balance and slows reaction time.  Based upon this investigation, the sharp turn made by Operator while impaired by drugs and alcohol are additional contributing factors in this incident.  .10 grams percent ethyl alcohol; and drugs were positive in blood sample.
