Three people were ejected from the 35-foot Nor-Tech boat Saturday morning due to “a sudden turn,” according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

According to the FWC, two people were pulled from the water and rushed to a nearby hospital.

A third person, Genoune, did not survive and died when he was pulled from the water, authorities said.

The FWC said the investigation remains active and a final report will be available once it is completed.
