At approximately 3:00pm on 08/29/23, I, Game Warden, received a phone call from Denton County SO dispatch stating that there had been a drowning in Lake Lewisville. I contacted my Captain who stated that I was to respond as it was my day off. I made it to Cottonwood Creek Marina as the recovery was made by the Little Elm/ Lewisville fire department. 

I met them at the marina and began gathering information from Denton County detectives. Detective had spoken with witnesses on the other side of the lake where the incident occurred. According to witnesses, the four occupants of the two-person pedal boat all fell into the water. The last time that the victim was seen was approximately 2:45pm. The victim was a non-swimmer, there were no life jackets on board or worn. The victim was recovered by Lewisville FD diver at 33.1470571N -96.9297281W in a 45-degree angle from the bank, face down, and approximately 50' from the bank in 8-9' of water(4:29pm). I met the FD vessel carrying the victim at Cottonwood Marina and we waited for the Medical Examiner who arrived at 6:50pm, took photographs of the body, took possession of the body, and left the scene at approximately 7:15pm.
