Cody Cecil, 30 years of age, of Everett, Washington, died after a refrigeration leak on a fishing boat in St. Herman’s Harbor in Kodiak.
Cecil and 56-year-old Francis Rutten of Snohomish, Washington, were rushed to Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center after police and emergency services responded to the harbor.
Police say Cecil was pronounced dead and Rutten is being treated for exposure to Freon gas.
Three other people were also evacuated from the boat along with passengers of nearby vessels.
Kodiak police and the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety Detachment are investigating.
