From The Advocate's article, it sounds like it was his own propeller. Tragic.
quote:

Grayson came back up and attempted to climb into his boat from the back, Einck said.

As Grayson climbed up, the boat’s propeller, which was spinning, hit him, Einck said.


quote:

Authorities are not sure if the propeller was running when Grayson dove for his anchor or if something accidentally turned it on, Einck said.

It says in that article that another boat came by too close and clipped the rope, causing the anchor to fall in the water.

Then it says he dove down, but the water was only 3-5 feet deep.

And for the prop to be spinning, the motor would pretty much have to be on and in gear. This article has a lot that doesn't make sense.

Wow! So the boat was in gear. People should take boating safety courses.
