Man dies after being pulled from sea at Stonehaven | |
(about 17 hours later) | |
A man has died after being pulled out of the sea at Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. | |
Police confirmed that the 43-year-old died at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in the early hours of the morning after being airlifted there by helicopter. | |
He had been rescued by a police officer and two members of the public. | |
The alarm was raised at 15:00 on Saturday when a member of the public reported seeing someone in the water at Stonehaven Bay. | |
On Saturday, Aberdeen Coastguard watch manager Kevin Brown said: "We're not sure how the person came to be in the water. The people who pulled them from the sea to the shore was incredibly brave given the rough conditions on the breakwater in Stonehaven today. | |
"With choppy seas and large waves we would urge members of the public to take extra care along our coastline at this time." | "With choppy seas and large waves we would urge members of the public to take extra care along our coastline at this time." |
