On January 7, 2023, OP1 took his recently acquired vessel for a test ride on the middle lobe of Lake Osborne in John Prince Park, Palm Beach County.  The vessel (V1 (Spectre)) was a 19-foot fiberglass 1999 Action Marine built by Spectre with a single 250 Hp Mercury outboard motor.  

OP1 had recently installed the outboard motor and was operating the vessel for the first time.  OP1 made several high-speed passes north and south in the lake.  On a northbound pass at approximately 1109 hrs., OP1 lost control of the vessel and it flipped end over end multiple times.  

OP1 was ejected from the vessel and did not surface.  Fire Rescue, Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to the incident and after an extensive two-day search located OP1 on the bottom of the lake.;
