Robert May, 70, was found laying next to his bike in the area of Central Avenue and Sumner Avenue bleeding from the head on Sept. 18 and died 13 days later.
Seaside Heights Mayor Tony Vaz is suggesting that other shore towns follow his borough's example of having lifeguards on duty until the end of September.
Big waves from Hurricane Lee will bring rough surf and strong rip currents to Seaside Heights creating dangerous conditions for swimmers and lifeguards.
Even from 1,000 miles away there is already a high risk of rip currents with wave heights of 7 feet up-and-down the Jersey Shore as Lee makes its way north parallel to the east coast.
Two people drowned at the shore and a third presumed dead in the water churned up by several post-tropical lows including former hurricanes Franklin and Idalia.
Tropical Storm Idalia is at its closest point to New Jersey on Thursday located 300 miles south of Cape May, according to New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow.
Hurricane Franklin, a Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 140 mph winds is about 500 miles southeast of New Jersey as of Tuesday morning, the closest it will come to New Jersey.
