SEATTLE, WA - Police on Sunday evening were still searching for a man who apparently jumped off a boat in Lake Union early Sunday morning and never resurfaced. The incident happened just before 7 a.m. on the west side of the lake near Westlake Avenue and Newton Street.

According to police, a group of people aboard the 25-foot vessel began shouting for help saying that a passenger on the boat had jumped into the water and never resurfaced. But witnesses on shore said the boat appeared to speed up, and that the man was tossed from the boat.

Seattle police and firefighters searched the water all day Sunday, including using sonar and scuba divers. The police divers will return to the scene over the next few days to continue looking for the man.
