Washington skipper dies of injuries suffered on board fishing boat
The skipper of a 73-foot commercial fishing boat has died from injuries suffered in an accident on board the vessel.
The U.S. Coast Guard was summoned to the "Swell Rider" at about 5 p.m. Friday after Keenan Stearns , 50, of South Bend, Wash., became entangled in fishing gear, while fishing about 15 miles west of Gray's Harbor, said U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Kelly Parker. The crew was able to free him.
The Coast Guard transported Stearns by helicopter to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
