Man dies after he's pulled from Gulf on Siesta Key

For the second time in 10 days, investigators from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office are looking into the circumstances that led to the death of a man pulled from the Gulf on Siesta Key.

At 2:21 p.m. Sunday, deputies and fire-rescue personnel were called to the 500 block of Beach Road after civilians pulled from the water an unresponsive swimmer. First responders were unable to revive the man, who was not immediately identified.

On Sept. 13, deputies were called at 9:53 a.m. to the 9000 block of Blind Pass Road, on the southern section of Siesta Key, where they encountered fire-rescue crews attempting to revive a man following the call of an apparent drowning. He was ultimately pronounced dead.

Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call investigators at 941-861-4900.
