Police yesterday named the man who died off South Shore on Monday as cricket stalwart McDonald `Bull' Swan of Smith's Parish.

Police said they had still not determined how Mr. Swan, 67, had died, but an autopsy will be performed.

Marine Police found the body of Mr. Swan near his capsized fishing boat Salt and Pepper three quarters of a mile south of Watch Hill Park, Smith's, at lunchtime on Monday after Harbour Radio received a call shortly before noon.

They found the 17 foot blue and white boat overturned and Mr. Swan's unresponsive body a few feet away.

Attempts to revive Mr. Swan were unsuccessful, and the former cricketer and umpire was pronounced dead at 2.20 p.m. at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital on Monday, said a Police spokesman.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw Salt and Pepper off Watch Hill Park earlier on Monday morning.

Bermuda Cricket Umpires' Association secretary Randall Butler yesterday paid tribute to Mr. Swan.

He said the dead man had been a veteran cricketer with Devonshire Recreation Club, before becoming an umpire.

He was also an assistant manager of the Bermuda National Team when it toured Kenya in 1994 and had umpired some times at Cup Match.

Mr. Swan was also groundsman at Devonshire Rec and Bailey's Bay, and was also brought in as a manager for big matches.

Mr. Butler told The Royal Gazette yesterday: "The Bermuda Cricket Umpires' Association extends its deepest sympathy to Mr. Swan's family.

"Over the years he gave good service to Bermuda cricket through his umpiring and his general service to the game.

"He played in many Central Counties games and he toured. He loved the game and was always willing to make a contribution. It was a bit of a shock to many people.

"He was really involved in the game at so many levels, as a player, an administrator, an umpire, a groundsman, a match manager and an umpire."
