Early Monday morning, a beachgoer saw part of a man's body sticking out of the sand on Hutchinson Island and called for help, the Martin County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. Stated.
He was resting under the dunes while apparently recording the sunrise when the dunes collapsed, detectives said. The man is believed to have died after being trapped under the sand.
Detectives do not suspect foul play, but he is awaiting the results of a toxicology test before declaring it a "tragic accident," the post said.
Hutchinson Island is north of West Palm Beach on Florida's Atlantic coast.
