FWC officials said each vessel had an operator and a passenger, and all four people were ejected into the water.

A 32-year-old female passenger in one of the vessels was found unconscious and taken by a good Samaritan to the Lone Cabbage Fish Camp, then to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

The operator of the vessel, a 23-year-old man, was not found until Monday morning by FWC and Brevard County Sheriff’s Office dive teams. He was also pronounced dead.

The two people on the other boat were unhurt.
