Bystanders pulled him to shore and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until firefighters from the Kauai Fire Department and the Pacific Missile Range Facility arrived.
Paramedics also responded and continued life-saving treatment. Boswell was taken to the Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
