RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS:
  Dispatched to possible drowning of a male victim on a kayak fishing on Quail Creek Sate Reservoir.
  
  NARRATIVE:
  INITIAL INFORMATION
  Friday, May 15, 2020, at 2044 hours, I was dispatched to a possible drowning at Quail Creek Reservoir. Dispatch informed me that information was still coming from the caller but that it was at the main dock. I initiated my patrol lights and sirens and once I arrived at the main dock, a female bystander informed me that they were in the water as she pointed into the trees just north of the main dock. I could see people splashing and swimming in the trees and said I was going to get the patrol boat. I got onto the patrol boat at the south dock and headed north of the main dock.
  
  INVESTIGATION:
  Once I arrived approximately 50 ft. from the main dock, the swimmers and a male in a kayak informed me that his son had a seizure and fell out of his kayak. I asked how old his son was and he informed me 19 years old.  I asked if he had a life jacket on and SUBJECT said no. I informed dispatch and requested search and rescue to respond to the scene. I overheard on the radio that other patrol units in the area were driving to Quail Creek to assist looking for the victim. Two males were swimming around the area and diving underneath the water looking for the victim. SUBJECT stated that he was sitting right in the area where his son had fallen off the kayak. I drove my patrol boat closer to SUBJECT and stood on the bow of the patrol boat. I shined my flashlight down into the water and was able to see a whitish object below me and I could see what appeared to be a shape of a body with two arms and legs. I yelled to SUBJECT and said he was right below my patrol boat. I informed the dispatch that we were in 12 feet of water and I had located the victim. 
  
  Paramedics and other patrol units arrived on scene and informed me they were on the north dock. I drove to the dock and picked up the paramedics and patrol units. I drove the patrol boat back to the scene and told other units to shine their lights into the water just below the bow of the boat. At this point, everyone saw the victim and SUBJECT dove beneath the water and brought him back up. We told SUBJECT to bring the victim to the patrol boat and he did. The paramedics and other patrol  units grabbed a hold of the victim and brought him onto the patrol boat. CPR was initiated right away on the boat. I drove the patrol boat back to the main dock and the paramedics took him off of the patrol boat and onto the dock. The paramedics began CPR and rescue breaths again. One shock was given to the victim, medication and a drip line were started as well. Approximately 30 minutes, all units stood on the dock shining light onto the victim so paramedics could perform their duties in the light.
  
  CONCLUSION:
  Paramedics decided to transport the victim, later identified as SUBJECT, Victim to Dixie Regional Medical Hospital. SUBJECT and the swimmers that assisted in the search were asked to complete witness statements. The swimming witness said they saw the victim fall into the water just came after the fact when they heard screaming and yelling for someone to call "911". 
  
  SUBJECT informed Ranger that himself, his son Victim, and friend had come out to the lake to fish. SUBJECT stated that his son was getting frustrated becuase his fishing line kept getting stuck in the trees and then observed his son have a seizure from their kayak and then fall into the water, and that was the last time he saw him. During the investigation, Ranger was informed that the victim had depression, anxiety, and seizures in the past and self medicated with marijuana. See attached for witness statements. Later that evening, I called Dixie Regional Medical Hospital to see how Victim was doing and was informed that he has passed away at the hospital.
