Officials say an off duty member of the Baton Rouge fire department accidentally drowned over the weekend.
According to reports, Captain Bryan Bozeman drowned at a popular boat launch and RV camp along the Robinson Canal in Cocodrie.
Witnesses say the 45-year-old Bozeman was cleaning fish when he slipped into the water and later died at the hospital.
East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome issued a statement on Sunday saying flags would be lowered to half-staff in honor of Bozeman.
