Event narrative (NOAA)
Multiple news outlets reported that a 41 year old man had either fallen or jumped off a boat on the evening of September 2. A music event was on going at this time, but given that the water was dark and murky, the man was unable to be retrieved. Local law enforcement was able to recover the man's body about 45 minutes after he fell in and tried to resuscitate him, but failed. The corner ruled the man's death a drowning.
