Four people were pulled from the water and taken to the near by Memorial University Medical Center. Two of them died, Fields said.

“With deep regret and heavy hearts IFA informs that Anup Kshirsagar, Sriram Raj, Abhijeet Alhat and Dhanunjay Bathula employees of Gulfstream, Savannah, GA have met with an accident while participating in Ganesh Nimajjanam in Savannah,GA,” said the IFA statement. “Unfortunately Anup Kshirsagar and Sriram Raj have lost their lives.

The county’s helicopter was expected to take to the skies over the island shortly.
