RedactedNarrative: Two vessels were cruising in opposite directions. Vessel 1 remained parallel with the wake of the other vessel. Upon vessel 1 hitting the wake from the vessel traveling in the opposite direction, both the operator and the passenger were ejected out of vessel 1 on the port side. The operator was not wearing a kill lanyard and vessel 1 began to circle. 
  
  Good samaritans in another vessel saw the two men in the water and were able to pick up the operator. The good samaritans were unable to rescue the passenger of vessel 1. The good samaritans threw a Type 4 PFD and another PFD to the passenger. The passenger was unable to grab the life saving devices and sank under the water. 
  
  The good samaritans called 911 at approximately 1:00pm and brought the operator to Campos Marina at Shell Beach where he was taken to University Medical Center (UMC) by EMS. Agent was notified of the incident at approximately 1:10pm and arrived to Campos Marina at 1:45. St. Bernard Sherrifs Office (SBSO) had one vessel at the scene of the incident. 
  
  Agent was taken to the incident in another SBSO vessel where all agencies including Coast Guard began to search for the missing passenger. 
  
  At this time vessel 1 was grounded on the Southern bank of the MRGO at 29 49.924N, 89 36.780W. Vessel 1 is a 19' fiberglass center console boat with teleflex cable steering. Throttle to vessel 1 was in neutral and the only visible damage was from the key that was broken in half at the ignition. Two other LDWF agents arrived on scene and towed vessel 1 back to Campos Marina. Sgt. with LDWF arrived to UMC to interview the operator, who inhaled water into his lungs. 
  
  Operator stated no PFDs were used and no kill lanyard was attached. All agencies involved searched for the missing passenger until Tuesday, October 27, 2020, when the subject's body was found and recovered near N29 50.049 W89 37.108. The subject was brought back to Campos Marina, positively identified, and turned over to the St. Bernard Coroners Office. The contributing factor of this incident is excessive speed while navigating through another vessels wake. No alcohol or drugs are believed to be a factor to this boating incident. Vessel 2 was never identified nor found.
