| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A rip current fatality occurred near Peterson Beach, in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. During a family outing, a 40 year old male from Cincinnati went into the water to pull out two nephews who were struggling with waves and strong currents. He was able to get them to safety, but was unable to himself escape the water. A park ranger retrieved his body from about five feet water a half-hour later, and CPR was performed on site, but he was pronounced dead soon after arrival at a local hospital. Rescue personnel estimated waves of 3 to 5 feet at the time of the incident. |
