A boat capsized in Jamaica leave 2 people drawn.

Two men drowned after their boat capsized in Jamaica Bay Friday night, forcing rescuers to try to save them in the pouring rain, officials said.

The men, part of a group of five, died at Beth Israel Medical Center after being pulled from the coastline near Floyd Bennett Field in
Brooklyn. Their schooner had flipped just before 8 p.m., officials said.

The men were found in cardiac arrest on the shore, and given CPR at the scene before being rushed to the hospital, police said.


A third man, clinging to the bow of the boat, was rescued and taken to Coney Island Hospital with minor injuries, officials said.


Two other men, also in stable condition, had scrambled ashore and alerted cops that the small recreational boat had capsized, police said.

None of those rescued were wearing a life jacket, sources said.
