More than likely the boats were parked tight together and when the line was cut the motor was started to keep the boats from drifting into other boats.

Does anyone know who owned the boat?

Talked to a guy who was on scene (after the fact) but provided first aid and drove the boat and the deceased to the landing. My friend was a few boats away when it happened and says he really did not get a clear story about how it happened but apparently the guy that died was responsible for the boat, something happened with the anchor line, he jumped in to retrieve, and the accident occurred when he was reentering the boat, weather the gut left the boat in gear or if someone else put it in gear after he jumped in is still unknown. The guy had both legs cut by the prop, one much worse than the other in the area of the femoral artery, he jumped back in his boat under his own power and his friends administered first aid. he quickly went into shock, my buddy was flagged over, jumped in the boat helped with first aid and, at that point he was the only one in the boat that knew how to operate it, he started towards the landing, was met at the mouth of the lake by paramedics who boarded and continued with CPR and first aid, progressed to the landing and was met by the chopper.
