The Port of Seattle Police have concluded their investigation in what happened to a man that was pulled from the water in Shilshole Marina near Dock R on the evening of September 29.

Robert Doug Schrecengost, a member of our Shilshole liveaboard community, passed away that evening from drowning. Schrecengost was 59 years old.

“Based on their conclusions and the autopsy results, it appears that he drowned, with no signs of foul play or intentional death.  His family has been notified,” reported the Port of Seattle.

The night of September 29, bystanders found the man in the water near dock R where Schrecengost lived on his 31Footer sailboat named Del Ray.

Seattle Fire Department tried to revive Schrecengost with CPR en route to Harborview Hospital, but he had been in the water too long.

Port officials said that Schrecengost’s mother lives out of state and that they will be working with her to make arrangements for his boat and belongings.

Derived from past Facebook posts from Schrecengost's page, Schrecengost worked on a freezer longliner named FV North Cape and spent time in Alaska in 2012. There are pictures of the North Cape being iced over completely and images of boats dwarfed by waves in the frigid waters of the Bering Sea.

Schrecengost’s Facebook page revealed he was fan of the “Deadliest Catch,” and enjoyed John Coltrane.
