Three people were fishing from a 21-foot open motorboat on Long Island Sound.  The water was relatively choppy, and because they had anchored by the stern, water began to enter the vessel over the transom, ultimately sinking the boat.  The deceased, a 71-year-old woman was a non-swimmer, and not wearing a lifejacket.  She experienced respiratory distress upon entering the water, and suffered from a fatal heart attack, despite the efforts of other boaters in the area in retreiving the trio from the water.  Alcohol was nto a factor in this accident.
