Nearby, in Destin, Florida, ex-NFL quarterback Ryan Mallett, 35, drowned Tuesday, but local officials said rip currents weren’t observed - and that day, yellow caution flags, not double red flags, were flying at the beach. Since mid-June, there have been six deaths around Panama City Beach in Florida.
Many of the deaths happened on days with double red flags - which are posted at beach entrances and on lifeguard stations to warn beachgoers of potential rip currents.
