The coroner said Murray was paddleboarding with another person when a storm moved through the area. Both fell off their boards, and Murray never resurfaced. Officials said the other paddleboarder was rescued by a boater and taken ashore. The coroner said Murray was not wearing a life vest.<\/p>\n

According to the coroner, Murray’s cause of death was drowning, and his manner of death was accidental.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>\u00a0posted to its website, Huntingdon College in Montgomery said Murray’s death was “tragic.” He had been an assistant coach with the team for one year.<\/p>\n

“Jack fully committed his heart and energy over the last year to the Huntingdon men’s lacrosse team,” the statement said. “He was exceedingly well-liked by our players and he carried the respect and appreciation of our Head Coach Andrew Carey and everyone who worked alongside him.”<\/p>\n

The statement went on to say that the college’s “thoughts and prayers are with Jack’s family, our Men’s Lacrosse players and staff, and all of those who were blessed to know him.”<\/p>\n
