PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) - A man was rescued via medevac by Coast Guard near Wrightsville Beach, N.C., April 10, but later died in a hospital.
The 54-year-old man was rescued from a 20-foot boat approximately 150 yards away from Coast Guard Station Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina, according to a Coast Guard press release.
