KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - A 15-year-old boy is dead after being struck by a boat propeller in the Florida Keys.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said the Fort Myers boy was in a channel between Cudjoe Key and Summerland Key Sunday afternoon when he was struck in the head by the propeller.
The boy was taken by boat to a Cudjoe Key resort, where paramedics were waiting. He went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the death.
