RedactedNarrative: On 12/4/16 at 1045 hrs, a single vessel accident occurred on the ICW in Indian River County. V-1 had two occupants on board and was heading south on the Indian River in the ICW, approximately 1/2 mile south of the 17th street bridge, when the vessel operator reduced throttle to slow for an oncoming vessel's wake. As a result of the reduced throttle, the victim lost balance and fell into the water. The victim fell from the bow of the vessel while it was still underway. The victim did not surface after falling overboard. At approximately 13:42 hrs, the victim was located underwater and recovered by the St. Lucie County Dive Team. 
  
  The victim suffered two small lacerations and contusions on the right eyelid, a superficial abrasion on the right cheek, a 10 cm vertical abrasion/contusion on the right shoulder with a small (<1cm) laceration within, contusions on the lips and gums, contusions on the right thigh, and contusions on left and right lower legs. Edema of the brain was noted during the autopsy and is consistent with a head/eye injury. It is likely that the victim was rendered unconscious as a result of the strike by the vessel. Froth was located in the respiratory system and is consistent with being submerged in water and drowning
