“There wasn’t anything unusual,” Southold Town Police Department’s Marine One Master John Kirincic informed the Shelter Island Reporter. “There was no fog or anything bad.”

A GoFundMe has been launched to boost cash for Korwin’s household. As of Sunday afternoon, it had raised greater than $300,000.

“It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we mourn the sudden loss of Spencer Korwin,” stated the GoFundMe. “Spencer was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He was the sun around which so many of our lives orbited, and his loss is being felt deeply by everyone who knew and loved him.”
