15-Year-Old Boy Drowns, 5 Others Rescued at New Jersey Beach Over Memorial Day Weekend

A 15-year-old boy died and five other swimmers were rescued over Memorial Day weekend after getting caught in the water at a beach along the New Jersey coastline.

The victims were in the water off of Beach B, an unguarded beach where swimming is not allowed, according toNBC NewsandNJ.com.

“They pulled him out, they started giving him CPR, and they couldn’t get him back,” added another eyewitness.

The boy and two others were transported to Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, while another two individuals were taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune Township.

Yun said one victim refused to be transported. The conditions of the other swimmers are currently unknown.

A lifeguard was not on duty at Beach B at the time of Sunday’s fatal incident, the outlets reported.

Lifeguards were on duty at beaches C, D, and G during Memorial Day weekend, Yun said, according to NJ.com.
