Police identified the man who fell into the Occoquan River and drowned last week.
Gregory James Gilker, 52, of Occoquan fell into the water while docking his sailboat at the Belmont Bay marina in Woodbridge on Thursday night.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the man became stuck underneath the boat after falling into the river, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
Residents were able to get him onto the dock and fire and rescue personnel preformed CPR, but the man could not be saved and drowned, said Perok.
An autopsy confirmed drowning as the cause of death, he added.
