The officer said he tried to slow down, but Ellingson tumbled overboard, his hands handcuffed behind his back. Witnesses said a type three life preserver (which cannot be properly fastened on a person in handcuffs because it uses armholes) was partially pulled over his torso, and came off when he hit the water.
