Vessel 1 was travelling west to east with Operator 1 sitting in the rear and Victim 1 sitting in the front.  Light winds (approximately 10mph) coming from the southeast causing small waves perpendicular to the starboard side of the vessel.  Operator 1 claims an unknown vessel travelling north to south some distance away caused a wake to strike perpendicular to the bow of Vessel 1, which most likely caused the capsizing of the vessel.  Both Operator 1 and Victim 1 fell overboard.  There were no PFD''s or sound producing devices on board and available.  Victim 1 began to struggle, Operator 1 attempted to assist but couldn''t.  Victim 1 drowned and Operator 1 was rescued by a nearby vessel.
