V1 was stationary when the victim went to the stern of v1 and stepped outside the rails to urinate.  The operator thought it would be funny to "gas" v1 and when he did the victim fell into the water and never resurfaced.  

Numerous occupants jumped in to try and find him but were unsuccessful. All the occupants were extremely intoxicated (both alcohol and drugs).  The operator claimed to be the only sober one.  Victim was located and recovered the following day by the dive team. Toxicology results are pending.

Update 10-13-23: toxicology results received from crime lab. Operator bac .067 and tested positive for cannabinoids. Victim bac .172 and also tested positive for cannabinoids.
