The operator, Ian Zapower told investigators that the contractor of the project, told him the engine on the piece of equipment could be shut off. But when the engine was stopped, the piece of equipment began to roll backwards, with Zapower pushing on the brake to no avail, in an attempt to stop the machine.

Bass was thrown onto the rocks and sustained severe head injuries. Sheriff McCoig said the home is located on the main channel of the lake.
