It is my understanding (could be wrong?) that he was as Dave said below the dam and his trolling motor wasn't enough for the vortex current so he went to go to the back of the boat, somehow fell out and was pulled under (life vest and all) Terrible tragedy
yes, that is very sad. prayers to the family.
