ST. JOHN — A Chicago, Illinois man was pronounced dead at the Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center in St. John Tuesday afternoon, in what the V.I.P.D. has deemed a possible drowning incident.
According to police spokesman Toby Derima, on Tuesday at roughly 3:25 p.m., the 911 Emergency Call Center dispatched officers to Hawksnest Beach to a report of a possible drowning.
Officers traveled to the area and found persons performing CPR on a Caucasian male who witnesses say was snorkeling. The male was transported to the Myrah Keating Health Center via ambulance for further treatment, however he eventually expired at the clinic.
The male was identified by next of kin as 77-year-old Brian Kosmal of Chicago, Illinois.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing, Mr. Derima said.
