Keith Rowley
Southfield Fire Department Chief Keith Rowley is presumed to have drowned in Lake St. Clair on Friday night, WWJ reports.
Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham told WWJ that Rowlley, 58, of Milford, was out on the lake around Harrison Township with three friends around 7 p.m. Friday when he went overboard.
“They were headed back in and they were about a mile off of Belle Maer Harbor Marina,” Wickersham told WWJ’s Jason Scott. “Witnesses on the boat report that his hat flew off and went into the water. They were going at a slow troll and he jumped in the water to retrieve his hat, then it appeared that he may have had some type of distress.”
WWJ reports that the driver of the boat was arrested for operating while intoxicated.
