Police: Man dies after boat mishap in New Jersey
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — A man apparently drowned in Barnegat Bay after a mishap with a boat, authorities said.
Police in Seaside Heights said the 57-year-old man was near The Dock Outfitters when he ran into trouble just after 8 p.m. Friday. State police said he was apparently ejected from the vessel; local police earlier said he tried to swim to shore after the vessel became disabled.
Another man standing on the dock tried to aid the victim by throwing a life preserver to him. State police said onlookers managed to get the man out of the water, which was about 50 degrees, and administered CPR, and emergency responders later arrived but were unable to revive him.
The man's name wasn't immediately released. State police are investigating.
