A Minnesota man drowned in the Florida Keys on Friday, Fox 9 reported.
The 71-year-old man, Michael John McCormick, was snorkeling with a family member before they were separated according to Adam Linhardt, a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff's office. When the family member could not find McCormick, they called 911.
A boater picked up the family member and McCormick and brought them to Geiger Key Marina, Linhardt told news outlets. Paramedics performed CPR on McCormick, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
CBS Minnesota reported that there was no suspicion of foul play. An autopsy is underway.
