RedactedNarrative: Two male occupants had launched a 7ft inflatable raft with the intent to fish from PleasureBeach.  The strong winds and currents pushed the vessel away from the beach. The occupants were no longer able to provide propulsion to the raft when one of the oars fell into the water prompting the passenger to leave the raft. The passenger jumped into the water to recover an oar that fell into the water. The operator lost sight of the passenger.  The operator and raft were rescued. The passenger's body was recovered on 6/23/16 in Fairfield, CT.
