Officials say that a good Samaritan contacted authorities at about 9 a.m. to report that an 18-foot boat had capsized at the mouth of the Ocean City Inlet and that there were people overboard.

He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, Md.

The cause of the incident is still under investigation by Maryland State Police.
