The caller went into the water on a paddleboard and kept the woman floating until officers arrived on the scene.

Marine Bureau officers were able to pull the woman, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, into the boat on the paddleboard and transported her to Marine Bureau headquarters at Timber Point where she was pronounced dead by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
