Man dies in boat capsizing near Hampton Roads, VA

A 55-year old man died early this month when his 18-foot boat capsized near Hampton, Virginia.

James Newsome of Knightdale, North Carolina did not survive the incident. He and three others went into the water in mid-day a mile east of Fort Monroe. The four were pulled out of the water by people in two other boats. The three survivors were treated in a local hospital for minor injuries and released.

A tug and barge were reportedly involved in the incident but the exact cause of the capsizing is still unknown, say investigators.
