Tragedy strikes as elderly man dies after diving
Just before 2 pm yesterday (November 25), police and other emergency services were dispatched to a location on North Church Street, where it was reported that a man had experienced difficulties whilst diving and was being brought to shore by the boat he was out with.
When the boat arrived, he was given CPR by officers from the Cayman Islands Fire Service with the assistance of police officers until the Emergency Services arrived.
The man was taken to hospital by ambulance, where he was later pronounced dead.
The 72-year-old-man is from Mississippi, USA, and is a visitor to the Cayman Islands.
