A man has drowned at Big Bay beach in Melkbosstrand, on Saturday.
The NSRI’s Craig Lambinon said the man had been swept out
to sea by rip currents in rough sea conditions further down the beach, from the
lifeguard protected swimming area.
Lambinon said the man was rescued from the mid surf
breakers, and lifeguards performed CPR.
‘’After extensive efforts to resuscitate the man were
exhausted sadly he was declared deceased by paramedics. Police have opened an
inquest docket. The body of the man has been taken into the care of Government
Health Forensic Pathology Services.’’
‘’We are appealing to bathers to swim at lifeguard
protected beaches and swim in between the safe demarcated swimming zones posted
by lifeguards,’’ added Craig Lambinon, NSRI spokesperson.
