episode_narrativeA tourist, Bill Evans, 27, was swept out to sea in Hagatna Bay. He was bodyboarding with a female companion during the afternoon when they were caught in a strong current. The female was picked by a personal watercraft operator and was safe. The emergency call came in at 1518. Evans' body was spotted at 1757 by a Navy HC-5 helicopter. He was brought to the Naval Hospital and was pronounced dead at 1805. The strong currents were caused by swells moving through the area. These swells were generated by a strong storm that was in the vicinity of Japan on the 7th and 8th of the month.
