Fish Hoek: 15 Year Old Deceased

At 15h55, Saturday, 20 January, the CoCT (City of Cape Town) water rescue network was alerted to reports from CoCT lifeguards and Fish Hoek Lifesaving lifeguards performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) efforts on a, believed to be local, 15 year old male teenager, that they had rescued from the water at Fish Hoek Beach.

The teenager had reportedly dived off rocks into the surf before being rescued from the water by the lifeguards.

The SA Police Services, WC Government Health EMS, CMR (Cape Medical Response) and CoCT Law Enforcement responded.

NSRI Simonstown was placed on alert.

On arrival on the scene paramedics assisted the lifeguards with CPR efforts.

After extensive CPR efforts were exhausted sadly the teenager was declared deceased.

The body of the teenager was taken into the care of Government Health Forensic Pathology Services.

Police have opened an inquest docket.

Condolences are conveyed to family of the deceased teenager.
