Event narrative (NOAA)
A 55-year-old man drowned off the coast of Treasure Island, most likely due to strong rip currents. Authorities were called to the 8400 block of Gulf Boulevard around 3 PM after receiving a 911 call. The call came shortly after beach-walkers spotted an unconscious body floating in the water near the beach and carried it to shore. First responders performed CPR on the man but they could not save him.
