On June 30, 2013 two waterfront property owners on the West River, of Chesapeake Bay noticed a capsized Kayak just offshore and what appeared to be a body floating nearby.  The two neighbors retrieved a 6 foot 225 pound 63 year old male subject from the water.  He was alive, unconscious and vomiting.  He was wearing a PFD but was face down when found.  The subject was rushed to a medical emergency facility and was designated as in critical condition.  He subsequently died and per the Medical Examiner, the cause of death was "Stroke complicated by drowning - accident."   Whether he suffered the stroke and then fell overboard, or fell overboard and than had a stroke is  not known.    There was no sign of any alcoholic beverage.
