| episode_narrative | A husband and wife (both 54 years of age) were snorkeling with their three children (a 26 year old female, a 23 year old male and a 20 year old male). Rough waters dragged them over the reef. One of the couple's sons was able to swim to shore and call for help at the nearby U.S Fish and Wildlife office. The officials were already aware of the distressed swimmers and had called for assistance. TheU.S. Wildlife people saw that the swimmers were out too far and could be in trouble so they notified the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard received the call at 1721 and the first of two Navy HC-5 helicopters arrived at the scene at 1742. One of the HC-5 helicopters was able to hoist the mother and her daughter out of the water and flew them to Naval Hospital at 1825 for treatment. They tried to resuscitate the mother, who was unresponsive.Guam Fire Rescue units were able to pull the husband from the water. A second Navy HC-5 helicopter hoisted the man and also brought him to Naval Hospital at 1850. Efforts to revive him proved fruitless and he was pronounced dead at 1900. The children were not seriously injured. |
