There’s little information regarding the exact cause of his death, but the local sheriff described it as an “apparent drowning”. Hayes death follows a string of controversy that ensued last year after a New Jersey surfer contracted a brain-eating amoeba from the facility and died. In regards to the recent incident, BSR has not released a statement.
