No one seemed to have the details as to what transpired before Dennis Urbans death. Unconfirmed reports say he was in the water near Sandy Bay, not far from Gilgo Beach of Long Island , when the propeller of the boat he had been on or possibly another boat hit him.
NewsChannel 13 spoke to one boat owner in the area. He says his family heard the call go out for help around 7 p.m. Sunday, so he hopped in his boat and went to where that call had come from.
He says when he got there in his boat, he saw a bunch of young people around the victim on a pontoon boat and it looked like it was probably too late for the victim, but that all those people were visibly scared and upset.
