The boat was located about fifteen yards from the Southeastern bank.   According to a witness (brother), Operator complained of leg pain and stood up.  The victim then fell backwards off of the boat into the lake. The victim struggled briefly but subsequently drowned.  It took 10-15 minutes to get the victim out of the water.  Caneyville Fire Department arrived on scene with a boat and brought the victim back to the opposite side where EMS was waiting.
