L/O: To research and plan an effective news report 19/1/17
A man has died after he and his family were swept off a beach in Cornwall by huge waves, despite a sea rescue by lifeboat volunteers. The man was with a woman and a two-year-old child when they got into trouble off Fistral beach, Newquay, on the county’s northwest coast, at about 5.20pm on Friday.
Lifeguards managed to rescue all three people but the man died in hospital, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said.
Two Newquay RNLI lifeboats, Fistral RNLI lifeguards, the Newquay coastguard rescue team, the police, the air ambulance and the ambulance service all attended the scene, local media reported.
“RNLI lifeguards rescued a woman using their jetski and a man and two-year-old child were recovered from the sea by an RNLI lifeboat,” a coastguard spokesman said.
