Like a fish out of water 60 year old Tommy Mollo who had assisted his friend move a boat in a marina at New Rochelle succumbed to an unusual case of delayed drowning after he fell into the water on Saturday morning.
According to reports, "After returning to his home in nearby Yonkers, he told his wife he felt unwell and she called 911. Emergency workers took Mollo to the hospital, where he died."
The cause of death was listed as secondary drowning which meant that Mr. Mollo had gotten water into his lungs that had further aggravated heart problems causing him to pass away.
Physician Gabe Wilson, from St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, stated "Conceivably water could be inhaled while one still had the means to pull themselves out, but it would certainly be a rare occurrence as usually panic sets in by then."
