A witness interviewed by police said he saw the man screaming, punching trees and foaming at the mouth while walking on the hike and bike trail. The witness reported seeing the man entering the water between the trail and West Cesar Chavez Street, where he began swimming and continued to scream and punch before he went underwater.
On Sept. 29 at around 2:16 p.m., Austin 911 received a report about a man in the 500 block of West Cesar Chavez Street who was screaming and yelling and then crawling on the bank and rolling into the water.
The caller also said he could hear the man screaming while swimming and punching the air, until he went underwater and didn't resurface.
Austin fire and ATCEMS crews responded and were able to locate and pull the man out of the water. AFD and ATCEMS crews attempted life-saving measures, but the man later died.
