A Stamford man was rescued off of an overturned boat in Long Island Sound by the Greenwich Police Marine section on Monday morning, according to a release from the Greenwich Police Department.

Authorities were contacted around 11:35 a.m., by a person who reported that a boat overturned by Lucas Point. Marine officers responded and discovered a 46-year-old man holding onto the hull of an overturned boat. The man was taken ashore by GPD marine officers where he was examined by medical personnel for exposure to the cold.

A subsequent investigation determined that the boat overturned while the man was placing a mooring. The boat later sank.
