At 08H37 Friday morning, Netcare 911 responded to reports of a drowning at “kids Beach” in Leasure Bay in Port Edward on the KZN South Coast.
Reports from the scene indicate that an adult male and an adult female were swimming at a swimming beach when they both got in difficulty.
Lifeguards responded and pulled the female patient to shore, the adult male, however, became submerged and was eventually also pulled to shore.
The female was found to be in a stable condition, the male, however, was assessed by an Advanced life support paramedic and found to have no signs of life and tragically declared deceased.
All necessary authorities were on the scene.
