RedactedNarrative: On 6-12-18 at approximately 15:33 cst, the spencer county sheriff's office received a call that a fisherman had fallen out of a boat and was missing.  Spencer co dispatch contacted multiple rescue units including their ema water rescue team, isp, and ico central dispatch.
  
  Witnesses and rescue units took me to a small pond that was located behind the victim's residence.  The pond, n38.0848/w87.0590, was approximately 1/3 acre and was surrounded by pond lillies growing along the edge.  I observed a blue colored paddle boat floating upside down in the pond as well as a pair of rubber boots floating.
  
  Trooper advised that the witnesses stated that they were on the small paddle boat with victim checking a trot line that was strung across the pond.  As they worked their way across the pond, the witnesses stated that the boat flipped over and threw them all into the water.  Subject1 was able to help subject3 to the shore, but victim struggled for a short time and then went under the surface and never came up.
  
  Trooper2 advised that she attempted a search of the pond utilizing her scuba gear but was unable to clear her ears and could not get to the bottom.  She estimated the depth to be around 10 feet deep.  
   According to subject1, who was visibly shaken by the incident, he and his fiancée subject3 had been invited to run the trot line with Victim.  He stated that they were all three in the small paddle boat working their way across the pond checking and baiting the trot line.  They had just taken off a catfish and placed it on the stringer, when the boat began to flip over.  As it flipped over, all three were thrown into the water.  Subject1 stated that he could swim and he immediately grabbed ahold of both subject3 and the victim.  He estimated that they struggled for a couple minutes in the water and that the boat floated away from them when it flipped over.  He stated that he felt subject3 sinking in the water so he let go of victim and began dragging her toward the shore.  He said that he heard victim asking for help and then went under water.
  
  I then had subject1 walk around the pond on the side of the dam to give a better location of where the victim went under.  He showed me where a pack of cigarettes was floating in the water and stated that he went down just to the left (west) of the pack approximately 15 yards from the bank.  During conversation with subject1, i asked if alcohol was a factor in the drowning.  He stated that he had only drank one beer because he had just got off of work.  He stated that victim may have had a couple of beers but he did not seem intoxicated.  Subject1 became very emotional during the interview and stated that everything keeps replaying in his head.
  
  We were able to pull the paddle boat up on the shore to examine it.  The boat, a playmate brand paddle boat, was in rough shape and contained a large amount of water that had come in through several seams that had separated.  Several photos were taken of the boat.
  
  Coroner examined victim's body and observed that there was a volume of water inside of the lungs.  He lowered the victim's head, and observed water flowing out of his mouth.  Coroner stated that these clues were indicative of a drowning.  We then observed the victims face and head for any suspicious injuries.  There were no visible injuries to the head except a small scratch on the victim's right ear.  We then examined the victim's hands and fingers.  There was no sign of injury or bruising to the hands and no foreign matter under the finger nails.  Coroner determined that all evidence pointed to an accidental drowning.  He further advised that he was not going to request an autopsy.  Coroner stated that he would email me an official coroner's report of death when he got it completed.
