Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:59 a.m. on November 28, 2006, Employee #1, a general laborer for a bridge repair company, was working alone, navigating an open john-boat, #FL 9732LS, on the Mississippi River. He had taken the boat, powered by a Yamaha 75-horsepower motor, model #P75TLHW, from a public use area dock and was heading toward another dock at the local municipal sewage plant. Somewhere between between mile markers 403.6 and 404.0, the boat took on water and partially sunk. A witness spotted the empty boat and a life preserver was seen floating in the river, but there was no sign of Employee #1. At the time of the accident, there were wind gusts from the south at up to 16 miles per hour and river currents showed no visible whitecaps. Employee #1's body was recovered on March 16, 2007.
