A New York man died in a bizarre case of delayed drowning -- succumbing a number of hours after pulling himself from the waters of Long Island Sound.
Tommy Mollo, 60, was helping a friend move his boat in a marina at New Rochelle when he fell in the water Saturday morning, WABC-TV reported. After returning to his home in nearby Yonkers, he told his wife he felt unwell and she called 911.
Emergency workers took Mollo to the hospital, where he died.
The cause of death was secondary drowning, with water that got in Mollo's lungs when he fell into the Sound believed to have exacerbated existing health issues.
