Game Warden was notified by dispatch that a single white male, jumped off a boat at Lake Waxahachie and did not resurface.  GW1 arrived at scene and began to search by side scan on his patrol boat.  GW1 was able to interview the driver of the boat and give an approximate location of where the victim was last seen.  The operator of the boat stated that the deceased subject and another female decided to swim back to the shore from the boat.  

The operator of the boat stated that the 2 swimmers were not wearing life jackets.  The boat operator noticed that the subject was struggling in the water, and he drove closer to try and help, but realized the subject had already gone down under the surface.  
GW1 was able to side scan the area, and shortly after located the subject on side scan in approximately 12 feet of water.  The fire department from Waxahachie and Grand Prairie, Tx dive teams were able to recover the deceased shortly after.
