William Schwartz was reportedly 24 or 28 years old. He fell from a motorboat while he and three friends were fishing on Lake Pontchartrain.

Two friends were on the bow of the boat and one at the controls, William was on the stern. They heard a splash and upon turning saw his hat floating. The area was circled and dragged but when efforts were futile the Coast Guard was notified.

At the time of his death he was a clerk at Delta Shipbuilding Company, Inc. He had graduated from Creighton University in 1937 after attending Notre Dame. He played football at both institutions.
