A 31-year-old man is in a critical condition after a drowning incident at Snake Park beach, Durban this morning.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the beach to assist Rescue Care workers with stabilising the patient who was in a critical state.
After a 40-minute CPR operation, the patient’s pulse was restored and he was hurried to Addington Hospital for urgent medical care.
The man was apparently swimming in the ocean when a fisherman spotted him struggling to float.
He then alerted Rescue Care who went out to sea to bring him to shore after which CPR ensued.
The incident is currently under investigation.
