RedactedNarrative: Two people were trawling in Lake Pontchartrain in vessel on 9/22/2022 at approximately 1200AM. They caught the trawl in the propeller and Operator stood on the starboard fantail and attempted to untangle the trawl while the vessel was turned off and drifting.  
  
  The vessel began to take on water over the starboard side. Both subjects entered the water as the vessel flooded and rolled over and were trapped underneath the vessel.  
  
  Operator was able to grab Occupant and get him out from underneath the vessel.  Operator stated that they were not able to access any PFDs in time and that he was able to attach a rope around himself and Occupant to stay with the vessel.  
  
  Shortly after floating next to the vessel, Occupant said several sentences to Operator and then Operator noticed that Occupant was face down in the water.  Operator was not able to resuscitation Occupant.  A good samaritain commercial crabber and the USCG discovered the capsized vessel and both subjects around 7:50AM.  They were transported to shore and Operator was taken by ambulance to Slidell Memorial Hospital.  The St Tammany Parish Coroners office took possession of Occupant's body.
  
  Alcohol and or drugs is not a contributing factor.  PFDs were not used.  The vessel had remote steering.  Contributing factors were too much weight on the starboard side of the vessel and the operators lack of attention to the fact the vessel was taking water.  Type of incident is a flooding, then capsizing.
