A man wearing waders and heavy winter clothes was pulled from the ocean by firefighters in Osterville on Monday afternoon, officials said.
Emergency crews responding to a report of a body floating near the entrance to Dowses Beach met two bystanders who were pointing to a body that was floating about 20 yards offshore in the East Bay, according to the Centerville-Osterville, Marstons Mills Department of Fire-Rescue & Emergency Services.
The unnamed middle-aged victim was taken to Cape Cod Hospital. His status was not immediately released.
Crews also recovered a partially submerged skiff with shell fishing equipment that was anchored at the entrance of the Centerville River.
The incident remains under investigation.
