A good Samaritan rescued a Lawrence gentleman who was contacting for help at the seaside, but another swimmer drowned.
A 27-calendar year-previous Lawrence guy drowned swimming off Hampton Seaside in New Hampshire Tuesday evening, in accordance to New Hampshire State Law enforcement.
Around 7:30 p.m., State Law enforcement had been alerted to a probable drowning at the beach, they explained in a press release. A great Samaritan, 23-year-old Salem, N.H., resident Casey Torname, explained to police he’d spotted two swimmers contacting for assist whilst he was browsing.
Torname instructed police he’d rescued a single swimmer — 28-year-outdated Lawrence resident Luis Colon-De-Lara, the release stated. But the other swimmer, Wandy Bethancourt-Adames, however hadn’t occur to shore, he claimed.
Hampton firefighters responded and soon observed Bethancourt-Adames in the h2o, the launch mentioned. They brought him to shore and performed CPR prior to using him to a medical center in which he was declared lifeless.
1st responders also took Colon-De-Lara to a healthcare facility. He was treated for non-existence-threatening accidents.
