On 4-22-11 at approximately 7:30a.m. 4 men left Breezy Point Marina in a 25' outboard for a fishing trip. The seas were very rough that day. The men began trolling  but after a while realized it was too rough and turned the boat around to go back. As they turned the boat they had following seas and for unknown reasons the motors and electrical systems quit. The vessel began to sink very quickly due to the seas coming over the stern. All the men started to don P.F.D's, only 3 were successful in getting them on before the vessel sank. There was no time to call for help by phone or V.H.F.  2 men swam to shore and were able to summon help. The other 2 men stayed where the boat had sank. A fire dept. boat picked up the unresponsive men. All 4 men were taken to the hospital. 2 men were treated for hypothermia and exposure and the unresponsive men pronounced dead in the emergency room. Autopsies revealed that both men died from "drowning".
