"I think they’ve got him on the board now," one of the deputies can be heard saying. 

According to the sheriff’s office, beach conditions at the time of Mallett’s death showed "no indications of any ‘riptides.’"

"The recent event in Destin yesterday, the tragic loss of life – it’s always difficult when we lose a tourist or resident here, but we have no indication of any dangerous conditions out there, the entire Okaloosa County, as well as Destin," Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Adams said in a video statement.
