The RVIPF can confirm a report received regarding an unresponsive male in Apple Bay at approximately 10:45 am on February 27.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the male, who entered the territory as a tourist, was surfing when witnesses noticed him experiencing difficulties and brought him ashore, where resuscitation efforts were initiated. He was subsequently transported to Dr. Orlando Smith Hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The investigation into this incident is ongoing.
