CRESCENT BEACH, Fla. – A 26-year-old Florida man died after he was pulled from the ocean off at Crescent Beach on Saturday, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office and family. A search began and they found good Samaritans, Tracy Yuro and a fisherman, bringing Miller out of the water near the Crescent Beach ramp. “We were praying, praying, praying, praying because I saw his wife come up as we were doing it," she said.
