Divers search for drowning victim in Lake Conroe

By Matt Stephens
Updated: 08.07.10
The Precinct 1 Constable Marine Division and Dive Team is searching for a Houston man who drowned on Lake Conroe Saturday morning, a day after his 43rd birthday.

About 10:30 a.m., a call was received about a drowning at the south end of Lake Conroe, between Diamondhead and Rancho Escondido, Marine Division Sgt. Randy Sanson said.

Gerald Norman Ellison, 43, of Houston, was vacationing with friends in the area, Sanson said. Six friends, including Ellison, rented a pontoon boat at 10:05 a.m. and drove out to the main body of the lake. Ellison and another man went swimming for about five minutes when they realized wind had pushed the boat away from the swimmers, according to Precinct 1 press release.

Ellison and the man attempted to swim toward the boat. The first man reached the boat, but before Ellison’s girlfriend could retrieve a life jacket for him, Ellison had gone underwater and never came back up, the release stated.

Sanson said weather conditions were nice Saturday morning, with slightly choppy water. While the cause of the drowning is still under investigation, he believes Ellison likely drowned from physical exhaustion.

“It’s hot out here and you get exhausted quicker,” he said. “You go swimming 50 or 60 yards away from the boat, and the body’s not used to that.”

It is unknown whether Ellison had any existing medical conditions, but alcohol was not a factor in the drowning, Sanson said. The incident is under investigation with the Marine Division.

“The only thing they didn’t do was anchor the boat, so they had to swim towards the drifting boat,” Sanson said.

There were five units searching for Ellison Saturday evening, as well as three divers. The difficulty lies in finding the initial location where he may have drowned, Sanson said.

Ellison’s death marks the eighth drowning in Montgomery County this year, and the fourth on Lake Conroe. The most recent occurred July 7, when 23-year-old Augusta Newmeyer jumped from an anchored party barge.

I just saw the dive boat and constables boat heading towards Inland/Valero in front of the house, leaving the main body of the lake. I was wondering what was going on?

happy barf day old man

if your not in a hurry to get to boating events :) and you want your truck to look like it had a makeover at a ferrari dealership..... actually airbags and 24's would make it pretty fat... im still a big fan of 94-98 superduty's, add on turbos to the 7.3 didnt do much until direct injection then it was problems with torque convertors and injectors but it beats the shiat out of $60k for a new truck.......... i dont get it. If i needed a new truck i would be on the lookout for doug cox's black truck....

jeffro, better check your ice cream van and free candy molestor wagon schedule... school starts august 23rd. :evilb:

Somebody should have bought the whole package and then sold off the toys for a tidy profit.

Ice cream van is being re upholstered by you know who, so it will be ready around December.

Congrats Trojan Man. :kiss:

What did Trojan Man get himself into now?

Oh and Dougs stuff was a decent deal but nothing great. Truck sold for 40K

Doug, Doug, Dougie Doug Doug sold his dually?

He sold everything and moved to Cancun. Lucky SOB

I did not take this, nor do I get credit for posting it on facebook, but this trumps the goggles drivng picture. :lolhit:

38 fountain with a fighting chair. Awesome

I would think that would make a decent dive platform as well. Nice ride.

At least now we have a place to crash. :) When did he do this?

Holy sheep $hit Batman! I wonder how much water damage?

http://www.boattrader.com/listing/19...press-95939365

Yes he sold everything but the house. Moving to mexico over by Telum??? SOmewhere going to towards the ruins. $426 dollars a money furnished in a gated community for an efficiency apartment. Sounds like a few of us should go in on a place down there.

South of Playa Del Carmen, but only about 45minutes if I remember correctly.

Sounds like we should have 2 or 3 of them. :drink: That is about half of what I pay in storage for the crap that doesn't run.

Thats the riviera mya area,its bad azz there.

Have you been there? I am ready to go somewhere. Getting tired of being home all the time.

Jenni and I did our honeymoon there. I loved it there. We plan to go back soon. we stayed at eldarado seaside suits,its a small resort that is mostly canadians that spend 4ot 6 weeks ata time there.

Canadians?

I havn't heard yet. Did Tbone get everything together, or are they riding with Boatman

yeah you know those people from the country to the north of us that is stupid cold.

Certain people on this board will get that joke, but we might have to wait for them to get back from Destin

I get it. When I typed it I was thinking is he going to think what i think he is going to think or is he going to think those people from the north..What do you think about that:lolhit:

Im thinking I might have to look into this.

Here's a shot from my Uncle's boat this past weekend. They were idleing by 100 foot off of the bow. During the race we got within 300 feet of the course mid straight away. It was pretty awesome. Lake Michigan went from nice and calm to 4 to 5s in about 25 minutes for the first race and then about 30 minutes later it calmed right back down to 2 to 3's for the second race. I'll try to post more pics when I get home tonight.

A few more.....

Cool pic

This one is for Chad....lol

Tell us about Destin. How was everything

In Beamount now, just changed our third tire for this trip. We left at 9:00PM last night so are still making pretty good time. Boat ran great. Like always it was a great run with some nice hardware.

BTW congrats MBA6969 on the engagement

Should be a hell of a wedding
