RedactedNarrative: 911 dispatch received a call advising they heard someone yell "Help" on the lake near point 4 but they could not see anyone or any vessel.  Another call came in shortly thereafter for a welfare concern on what turned out to be the victim.  A friend called stating the victim had gone paddling in his boat that he launched from his vacation home and who was supposed to return by 7pm to watch a ball game on TV.  A search was conducted in the area until 2am with nothing being located and due to visibility issues was suspended until daylight the next morning.  At approximately 08:30am the victim was located floating near Pt. 4 between Eden Isle and Heber Springs Marina.  The victim was wearing a dark shirt, grey underwear, no pants and only one shoe. He was floating face down near the rocky shoreline and he had an inflated PFD tied around his waist and his arm was through the area that should have been worn over the head.  There was severe trauma to the face and deformation of the cranium and ocular orbitals; he also had a blood trail from his ear and hemorrhaging in the eyelids.  Later that day, V1 was located in the breakwater at the marina and retrieved. According to the victim's neighbor; prior to going out on the water, he had brought her a frozen margarita and she concluded it would have been a lot of effort to only make one frozen margarita - when asked if the victim had been drinking.
