A man who was found naked and floating in the Sebastian Inlet State Park has died, authorities said Sunday. Brevard County Sheriff's Office said its officers responded to multiple calls about a man, later identified as Peter Robinson, 57, of West Palm Beach, floating in the inlet about around 7:15 a.m. Saturday. Robinson was a former director at WPBF 25 News in Palm Beach Gardens. When deputies arrived they found Robinson in the waterway. He was unclothed, incoherent, acting erratically and appeared to be under the influence of an intoxicating substance, police said. Deputies took him to Holmes Regional Medical Center for evaluation. Upon arrival at the hospital, Robinson was pronounced dead. Brevard County Sheriff’s Office deputies learned that during the hours leading up to the initial report of the incident at Sebastian inlet officers from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office and Indian River Shores Police Department had interacted with Robinson. Police said they tried to make a traffic stop on Robinson for his erratic driving, but Robinson fled from them. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement are conducting separate investigations into Robinson's death. Police urge anyone with information about Robinson's death or his behavior leading up to it to call homicide investigator Troy Deavers at 321-633-7162 or 1-800-423-8477. You can also call Cpl. Dave Jacobs at 321-747-9780.
