On October 16, 2008, a worker entered a fish diverter where the water was approximately seven to eight ft deep. He went into the diverter to retrieve a flow meter that was accidently dropped into it. The worker dove into the water and within several seconds emerged in a disorientated state. The worker did not respond to his supervisor's verbal orders. The worker then sank into the water and did not emerge again. His body was retrieved by a coworker approximately 15 minutes later. CPR was unsuccessful as the worker had drowned.
