Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 8, 1991, Employee #1 and a homeowner set out to repair or replace a foot valve on a 2-inch water line used by the homeowner's summer residence near Lake Tahoe. The homeowner and Employee #1 borrowed a neighbor's small, 8 to 14 ft long aluminum boat and rowed to the end of the water line, which was approximately 600 ft from shore. Employee #1 attempted to place the water line onto the transom of the boat, which caused the boat to tip and fill with water. Employee #1 and the homeowner were thrown into the lake. The homeowner swam to shore and telephoned 911. Employee #1 drowned before he could reach shore. His body was transported by the Sheriff's Department to Barton's Hospital in Lake Tahoe, CA. Neither the homeowner nor Employee #1 had been wearing life jackets, nor were there any flotation devices in the boat.
