Employee falls out of boat and drowns
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on August 27, 2016, Employee #1 was testing a new boat, a 2016 Lund Alaskan 1800 Tiller with a Mercury 75 horse power motor, on a lake. A coworker saw Employee #1 and the boat heading for a landing then lost sight due to the sun. Then the coworker saw the boat again circling around Employee #1 who was in the water and swimming. The coworker called 911 as he continued to observe Employee #1 in the water until he lost sight of him. Employee #1 was later found drowned approximately 300 yards from the landing in 24 foot of water with no life jacket.
