Event narrative (NOAA)
A 26 year old man from Orlando, who was likely overcome by a rip current, was pulled out of the ocean by swimmers near First Street and Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach. Rescuers performed CPR to the man after finding him unconscious, but their efforts to revive him proved unsuccessful. An autopsy confirmed he died from drowning.
