The Seminole County Fire Department set out early Sunday to rescue some stranded boaters in Geneva.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – One male was rescued and another was found dead after their boat capsized Monday night on the St. Johns River in Seminole County, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The males were on a 13-foot boat near Mullet Lake Park around 7 p.m. when the vessel overturned for an unknown reason. Officials said both victims tried to swim toward the shore but one of them went under the water and never resurfaced. The other victim was found dead during the overnight hours on the water bottom near the boat. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the FWC conducted the search using dive teams and a helicopter.
