Edward Freitas, 62, was at his summer residence, a private community in Oakdale, when the Fiberglas boat shifted off blocks supporting the vessel and its trailer, police said.

A friend found Freitas at about 12:22 p.m., police said.

Freitas, a recently retired banker who lived in Patchogue in the winter months, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said
