The New York surfer who was pulled from the water in the Rockaways on November 12, 2010, has died after over a month in a coma, according to a story in the New York Daily News.
Charles DeVoe, 28, had been hospitalized since the Nov. 12 incident. He died Friday. . . FDNY divers had to cut DeVoe free after his ankle tether became snagged on a wooden pole. He was in the water for several minutes before he could be rescued. . . DeVoe’s agent, Jason Kanner, called DeVoe “a lovely kid who was respected and loved by many.” . . “This is a stunning and tragic loss for all those who loved and cared for him,” Kanner said.
DeVoe was a model who worked with Dolce Gabbana, Abercrombie & Fitch, and many others. Our thoughts are with DeVoe’s family and friends.

very sad news. RIP
Uncle Brian taught me: Wrap your arms below your thigh pull in, then pull in on your shin, obviously resist panic. Three step process. Spooky ass waters there. This tragedy happened in SB to a girl recently.
