RedactedNarrative: On June 28, 2020, at approximately 1630 hrs., the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) received a call-in reference to a missing person off a personal watercraft (PWC).  The PWC was operating offshore a half mile north of Dania Beach Pier.  
  
  He was with two other PWC's and they decided to stop and jump into the water to swim before returning in the Port Everglades Inlet.  Operator removed his life jacket before jumping into the water one last time.  He used the PWC as a platform and while attempting to swim back to the PWC, was having trouble swimming.  One of the other riders took off their life jacket and threw it to Operator.  He tried swimming to it but went under the water and never resurfaced.  He was later recovered by Broward County Sherriff Office (BCSO) divers and then life flighted to Broward Memorial Hospital in Hollywood where he was pronounced deceased.
