A 50-year-old fisherman died this morning
after he collapsed aboard the Cape fishing trawler in
Port Elizabeth
National Sea Rescue Institute volunteers in
PE were activated following a fishing vessel reportedly heading at a speed from
fishing grounds towards PE and requesting urgent medical assistance.
NSRI Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said
paramedics were put on board but sadly he was declared deceased.
Lambinon said while the fisherman was
suspected to have died from a heart attack, police have opened an inquest
docket and will investigate.
"The body of the deceased has been handed
over to the forensic pathology services” Lambinon added.
