RedactedNarrative: Cpl1 said a personal watercraft (pwc) had been found circling in front of the East Bank Park boat landing.  He told me a personal flotation device (pfd) hooked to a kill switch had been attached to the pwc, and was dragging in the water behind the pwc.  Cpl1 told me the victim, Victim had been found by divers approximately 30 yards in front of the boat dock adjacent to the boat landing.  Cpl1 told me that the family of Victim stated that he had been known to suffer from seizures.  Additionally, Cpl1 advised me the pwc would be stored at the DNR facility at Aqualand in Hall County.  
  
  On September 2, 2017 I traveled to the DNR facility at Aqualand and examined the pwc involved in the incident.  It was a 1996 Sea-Doo with hull identification number ZZNA7010L697 and Georgia registration  0388 XZ.  I observed no visible damage on the pwc, or anything that would indicate a collision with another object or vessel.  After viewing the pwc, I photographed it and left Aqualand.
  
  On September 26, 2017 I spoke to the witness who found the pwc circling in front of the boat landing.  Witness1 said he found the pwc circling at approximately 1800 hours.  He said a pfd was attached to the kill switch and dragging behind the pwc.  Witness1 said he was able to get the pwc turned off and called 911.  Witness1 said he observed Victim pwc trailer in the parking lot, and it was dry.  Witness1 said it appeared Victim was likely returning to the boat landing when the incident occurred.
  
  After interviewing the witness, reviewing Cpl1 statement, and observing the pwc, I concluded that Victim fell off the pwc and drowned.  The lack of usage of a personal flotation device was a main contributing factor in Victim drowning.  It is unknown if Victim' history of seizures played a part in the incident.
  
  This report is a true and accurate statement based on the witness statement and knowledge acquired through investigation.  My conclusion is based solely on information available to me at the time of this investigation and may change with the discovery of any new information.
