TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — One of two people diving off Fugang Harbor in Taitung County on Saturday (March 11) died after being rescued.
Around 3 p.m. on Saturday, fishers off of Fugang Harbor spotted two people at sea who looked as if they were drowning and notified the Coast Guard, CNA reported.
Nearby fishing boats rushed to the rescue. Coast Guard personnel rescued one of the divers, who had no serious injuries, while a fishing boat met the other victim, surnamed Hsieh (謝), who was a Private First Class (PFC) in Taiwan’s army.

Hsieh showed symptoms of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and later died in the hospital. The other diver who survived the accident was sent to the Chie Lan Security Office to recover.
Nearby fishermen report that the two were diving off the Jialulan Coast and were taken to Fugang Harbor by the current, per CNA.
