SAND KEY, Fla. — The City of Clearwater said a man has died after a water-rescue call on Sand Key.
Officials said Clearwater Police and Clearwater Fire & Rescue responded to the call Monday at 6:09 p.m., from just North of the Clearwater Sailing Center on the Intracoastal Waterway.
The man was pulled from the water by people around the area, who performed CPR on him. Firefighters took over lifesaving efforts when they arrived, and he was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, where he later died.
Police later identified the man as Mario Narvaez-Narvaez from Largo.
This is an ongoing investigation; officials say his name will not be released until immediate family members have been notified.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
