Four men, all working at local dining spots had taken a Town of North Hempstead row boat out around 3:00 am.  The men may have been under the influence of alcohol, police said. A wave capsized their boat, throwing all 4 men into the water, none of them wearing life jackets.  Three of the men were able to swim to nearby moored vesels, where they were rescued and taken to be treated for hypothermia.  The fourth man drowned.  Alcohol was considered to be a factor.
