Man found dead in boat overdue due to ‘fishing mishap’
A man, identified as John Smith, was discovered deceased on an overdue vessel near Hatteras Inlet after a report was made by a Good Samaritan and received by the Coast Guard Sector North Carolina. Once the missing boater was found, the U.S. Coast Guard alerted the Dare County Sheriff's Office upon realizing the man on board was deceased. John Smith is remembered as a devoted and respected commercial fisherman who had been fishing from the Outer Banks to the Treasure Coast for many years. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by his family in his memory, citing the incident as a "commercial fishing accident." The U.S. Coast Guard is currently conducting an investigation into his death.
