Fernandez, 24, was found dead along with two other men in the boat when it was spotted by coast guard personnel on a routine patrol. They spotted the vessel upside down on the north end of a rock jetty shortly after 3:15 a.m. The names of the other two men found with Hernandez have not been released as they are being withheld until all relatives are notified.

The sports world is more than shaken up by this loss and we are currently awaiting more details about the crash and what may have been the cause.
