He and two other occupants of the boat were ejected from it during the training at approximately 9:30 am. He was then struck by the propeller of the empty boat, which had come back around after everyone had been ejected.
Deputy Hodges was pulled from the water and transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries one hour later.
