Man on Watercraft Dies After Being Hit by Duck
A man riding a personal watercraft died after a duck hit him in the head, knocking him into a lake, sheriff’s officials said.
Leon Resnick, 31, was riding the watercraft last week at a lake in Deerfield Beach while a friend watched from shore, the Broward County sheriff’s office said.
The friend turned to get a radar gun to check the vessel’s speed, then noticed Resnick was not on the vehicle. He found him several minutes later in the water.
Resnick was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The medical examiner listed the cause of death as blunt trauma to the head and drowning.
