A 67-year-old man died after he was pulled from the ocean off a Fire Island beach on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Ovidio Villavnencio, of Queens, was brought in from about 100 feet off shore just east of Field 5 at Robert Moses State Park at about 1:15 p.m., according to a spokeswoman for the Fire Island National Seashore.
He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, where he was pronounced dead shortly later.
