At around 6:10 AM on Thursday, September 17, a boat hit rocks under the Golden Gate Bridge near Lime Point. The San Francisco Police Department’s Marine Unit responded and found that the vessel had capsized, with three people aboard needing urgent medical attention. One of them, identified as Daniel Zhengyu Qin, a 35-year-old Apple software engineer from San Jose, later died in a hospital in Marin County. Two others were seriously injured but survived. A family friend described Qin as kind and generous, emphasizing his contributions to the community and support for friends and neighbors. His wife, Yao Deng, is now facing significant emotional and financial challenges following his death, leading to a fundraising campaign by the family.
