Three people died in separate incidents while snorkeling in the Florida Keys, authorities say.
Monroe County Sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin says two men and a woman were vacationing with their families in the Keys when they died on Monday.
She says 71-year-old Richard Gueringer of San Antonio, Texas, was pulled unconscious from the water while on a snorkeling trip on the Key West Fury. He was pronounced dead at the Lower Keys Medical Center.
Also Monday, 72-year-old Larry Coltrin of Schaumberg, Illinois, died while snorkeling in the Dry Tortugas. An autopsy is planned.
Herrin says 64-year-old Julia Thien of Wood River, Illinois, was snorkeling with family members when she began having trouble. She was brought on board Keys Diver II but couldn't be revived.
