 The owner of Breynard International Raceway has died following a boating incident in Florida. Jed Kopem died yesterday after authorities in Fort Myers, Florida, responded to the Sanibel causeway in response to a man overboard. Numerous agencies joined in the search for him, but his body was not located until this morning. Christina Mendez from WBBH TV in Fort Myers has the story. A family cruising near Panorasa Sunday turned into an all-out search for a missing man, Jed Kopem. I know that the family have to be feeling great loss. Law enforcement agencies working together to scour the water that night, but it wasn't until today Kopem's body was found. Jed was a remarkable man, and I wish that everybody would have had the opportunity to get to know him. The husband and father ended up in the water. Just was a man full of life. From a philanthropic family, Kopem was in town for his father's 75th birthday charity concert this weekend. Over the phone, Dave Kopem tells NBC2 the family is devastated. Then to have suddenly the next day have this huge tragedy happen. It's just beyond words. The Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida says the investigation into Kopem's death is ongoing, but there appears to be no criminal aspect to the investigation. And we'll have more on Kopem's death tomorrow on Lakeland News. Local BIR officials were unable to appear on camera today, but they told us in a news release that Kopem had been swimming from his parents' boat on Sunday afternoon near Fort Myers when he went missing. No details of the accident have been released. A BIR spokesman Jeff Gorvin said that it's a tragic and sad day for Brainerd International Raceway and the entire racing community and the Brainerd Lakes area. Gorvin said everyone is still in shock and trying to make sense of it and their sympathies go out to Jed's wife Christy, his two children, and the rest of his family.
