A tragic incident unfolded off Elbow Beach last week, as a guest worker, who ran into difficulties while swimming, was pulled from the waters and ultimately succumbed to his injuries today. The swimmer, who entered the water on Thursday near the Coral Beach area, encountered trouble and was rescued by a bystander who noticed him floating face-down in the ocean.
According to reports received by TNN News, the individual had been submerged for nearly five minutes before rescuers managed to bring him ashore. Immediate efforts were made to revive him, yet he remained unresponsive and never regained consciousness. Despite medical intervention, his condition did not improve, and he was pronounced dead earlier today.
This unfortunate event highlights the dangers of the ocean, particularly for those unfamiliar with local water conditions. Authorities are urging the public to exercise caution and to be mindful of potential hazards in open waters, especially on the South Shore Beaches with unpredictable currents.
