Man dies after fall on boat

A 65-year-old Richmond Hill, Georgia man was rushed to Lower Keys Medical Center On Stock Island Tuesday night where he was pronounced dead after falling on a Key West-based Sunset Watersports boat.

Raymond Alan Hayes was pronounced dead at the aforementioned hospital at 8:01 p.m.

Deputy Christopher Swartz responded to the Key West Historic Seaport, 201 William St., at approximately 7:30 p.m. where he met with a boat crew member who stated: The victim was standing on the bow of the boat observing people snorkeling in the water at Sand Key. The victim went to sit down on the deck and then lay back when he hit his head on the deck. The boat employee ran to the victim who was breathing but unresponsive. Boat crews rushed him to shore.

Foul play was not believed to be a factor in the incident.

Autopsy results are pending.
