Before 19:00 on Monday, the North Zealand Police were present at Søndre Strandvej in Helsingør near Trykkerdammen, where a person had been rescued by the water.
This is what the North Zealand Police wrote on Twitter.
Rescuers worked on the scene and citizens were asked to stay away.
This is a person who died in a diving trip. This is stated by the North Zealand Police.
It is unclear what went wrong when a 43-year-old man got into trouble and lost his life on a diving trip.
- He was out diving with a friend when he got into trouble, says David Borchersen, who is the guard chief of the North Zealand Police to Ritzau.
The friend managed to get the 43-year-old brought ashore and sounded an alarm.
- First aid is provided and he is flown by helicopter to Rigshospitalet, but his life was not saved, says David Borchersen.
On Monday night, he can't say anything about why the diver got into trouble in the first place.
- We must have questioned his comrade and his diving equipment has been sent to the Naval Diving Service, which will investigate if there was any error in it, explains the guard chief.
relatives are informed, North Zealand Police writes on Twitter.
The injured person was taken by ambulance from the site to the lawn between Kronborg and Helsingør Nordhavn, where a military helicopter was ready, and flew towards the Rigshospitalet's Trauma Center. This is apparently due to a lack of safe landing opportunities on site.
The place around Trykkerdammen is used by many divers.
