A witness told WGMD that he saw somebody raise his hand out of the ocean and realized the swimmer needed help.
“Then I started shouting ‘Help! We need a lifeguard.’ We were shouting, shouting, shouting and finally when I turned to this side. I can’t see him. He just lifted his hand and he drowned,” the witness said.
Officials had warned of rip currents throughout the holiday weekend.
