After speaking with someone who was on the beach at the time, it sounds as though this person received zero professional medical attention on the scene. I was told that the cops were there.... standing by watching other beach-go'ers attempting to resuscitate the man. I didn't realize that being a cop was a spectator sport.
So......the obvious question is......drumroll.....WHERE THE F IS THE AMBULANCE AND EMT in a case like this?
I had a serious talk with my kids before letting them swim the public beach, noting that they were to be mindfull of jetski's and not to leave the roped off areas. The thought of something like this happening to them or someone else makes my stomach turn somersaults , but to think that there is a complete lack of any kind of emergency medical response is maddening and just plain scary. And what's just as disturbing.... I'm willing to bet $$ there is an equal lack of concern towards finding the jerk that fled the scene.
Prayers going out to his wife and family, I just can't even imagine being in her shoes.
