HENDERSON, La. (KLFY) -- An Arnaudville man's body was recovered following a fatal boating incident that occurred on Sept. 11 in St. Martin Parish, agents said.
Agents recovered the body of Scottey R. Broussard, 47, of Arnaudville, from Henderson Lake and turned his body over to the St. Martin Parish Coroner’s Office to determine an official cause of death, officials said.
During the investigation, it was learned that Broussard launched his 21-foot homemade skiff vessel from the Cypress Cove Landing in Henderson Lake around 7:30 p.m. Agents said they were notified around 8:15 p.m. about Broussard’s unmanned vessel that was found by another boater a few hundred yards from the landing.
Agents responded to the scene immediately to search for Broussard and found him in the water close to his vessel around 12:15 a.m. on Sept. 12. It is unknown at this time what caused Broussard to enter the water.
This case remains under investigation. We will update as more information is released.
