WEYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - The South Shore Health community is mourning the loss of one of their own.
A diver found dead off the coast of Florida has been identified as the hospital’s Chief of Medicine Robert K. McIntyre.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said the 58-year-old doctor was diving with a group on a charter boat off the coast of Jupiter Thursday morning. The captain called for help when McIntyre did not resurface around 11 a.m.
The local sheriff’s office and the US Coast Guard found his body on the ocean floor four hours later.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the health system wrote:
“Along with being an extraordinarily talented and gifted physician who cared deeply about his patients and colleagues, Bob was known for his compassion, intelligence and sense of humor. He was a mentor to members of our hospitalist staff, friend, and educator to many healthcare professionals. He helped create a superb and highly respected hospitalist service. Our hearts are filled with sadness for Bob’s family, colleagues and friends.”
He joined the staff at the Weymouth-based hospital in 2012 and rose to become Medical Director for the Division of Hospital Medicine, and then Chairman of the Department of Medicine, according to the statement.
They said he previously served at Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis, and the Veterans Administration Medical Center. He was a Captain in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, serving in its Medical Corps.
