Indiana Conservation Officers were dispatched to the Patriot boat ramp on Sunday around 2:26 p.m.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers located a capsized personal watercraft. The initial investigation revealed that Nathaniel Willman, 20, went under the water and never resurfaced after his PWC capsized as another passenger attempted to board.

The investigation is ongoing.
