Incident at Studland

The Coastguard team were tasked to a report of two swimmers in difficulty at Studland yesterday morning (Friday).  On arrival the team recovered a male from the water and found the other person had managed to make it ashore. 

Joined by the crew of the RNLI lifeboat from Poole, Rescue 175 from Lee on Solent , a Critical care team, Dorset and Somerset air ambulance , South Western Ambulance and Dorset Police both casualties were given urgent medical treatment on the beach. 

Sadly despite the efforts of all those attending one male sadly passed away.  The second male was transferred by ambulance to hospital. 

Our thoughts are with the family and friends.
