The man who got pulled from the water unfortunately did not survive.

A man said to be in his 20's, in the water off the south beach of Lincoln Park for over an hour, was rescued by Seattle Fire Department people at around 10:50pm. He was taken to Harborview in critical condition after resuscitation efforts were employed once he was out of the water. He died this morning.

According to SFD media relations officer Kyle Moore:

"Someone from the Ferry dock (at Fauntleroy) heard someone yelling out on the water. What had happened is that there were three gentlemen out here, they were going out to a sailboat. One guy took some supplies out in a small inflatable raft and and as he got about three quarters of the way out there, he somehow ended up in the water. One of the friends ran to call 911, while the other friend jumped in an inflatable raft and tried to go out and find him but he went under. It appears from the rubber raft that possibly the floor of the raft collapsed and he went down from there."

He was located about 25 yards off shore in 6 feet of water. The cold water may have had an effect on his potential survival, according to Moore.

Prior to the rescue the Coast Guard and even the approaching Washington State Ferry trained powerful spotlights on the water to try and spot the man.
