Shelter Island hotel guest found dead in water after swim, police say

The Shelter Island Police Department said a Manhattan man staying at a hotel in town with his family was found dead under a nearby dock Wednesday after failing to return from a morning swim. Spencer Korwin, 38, was last seen about 8 a.m. on Wednesday after he entered the Shelter Island Sound near Crescent Beach from a dock at the hotel, the Shelter Island Police Department said in a news release. Korwin's wife contacted hotel staffers hours later, at which point first responders were activated for a search. The police did not identify the hotel. Marine units from fire departments in East Marion, Greenport and Southold aided in the water search, as did the Southold Town Police Department's marine and dive team.
