RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 1300, Met USFW Officer at Manteo Access Area.  Officer informed me of a missing boater in the Currituck Sound in the area of Duck, NC.  With USFW, I patrolled to Duck looking for the missing person.  I talked to Officer with Duck Police Department and she informed me that Subject was operating vessel 1.  Subject was towing two people on a tube.  
  
  As they were being towed by the pontoon boat at a slow speed, the tube hit a wave and flipped the subjects off the tube.  Tuber1 was wearing a life jacket and Tuber2 was not.   Tuber1 didn't know how to swim and began to panic and yelling “help me I''m drowning”.   So Tuber2 attempted to calm Tuber1 and get him to float on his back.  
  At that point, Subject jumped into the water to assist Tuber1.  Subject, who was not wearing a life jacket, reached Tuber1 seconds later.  Tuber2 could climb back into the pontoon boat where he attempted to steer the boat towards Tuber1 and Subject's position.   Subject2 then saw her husband floating in the water.  She jumped in the water on the opposite side of the pontoon boat from her husband's location, but when she swam around to the last known position of her husband, she was unable to find him.  Tuber1, who was still in the water during this time, recalled hearing Subject say "Oh God", before he disappeared from his sight.  Subject was found the next day by a renter. 
  
  No violations of the law were detected.  Alcohol was present in the decedent’s body.
