The 31-year-old son of a billionaire banker died while trying to save his fiancée during a fishing competition in Florida over the weekend.

According to the Miami Herald, Juan Carlos Escotet Alviarez died after he attempted to rescue his fiancée, Andrea Montero, when she fell off the stern of their 60-foot boat on Saturday. The two were catching sailfish as part of an event hosted by the Ocean Reef Club in north Key Largo.

After entering the water, Alviarez was struck by a boat propeller and died from his injuries, the outlet said. Journalist Angela Oraa of Venezuela said Montero was able to get out of the water "without consequences," according to a translated tweet.

Citing the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, The Independent said the accident occurred about six miles from the private community, Ocean Reef Club. The FWC did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

7. trying to picture this

they must have been backing down on the fish when she fell overboard and he jumped in to save her.

In short, the boat backed over him maybe when she was on the side . What a terrible way to die.

The fish would have been tagged and not killed. Most big game fish tournaments are "No kill".
