Police warn dangers of waters following North Tyneside death

A man has sadly died after swimming in the sea in North Tyneside.
The devastating incident occurred at 5.33pm on Saturday July 26th when police received reports of a man getting into difficulty after he jumped into the water at the Quay in North Shields.
Emergency services attended and on police arrival the ambulance service was treating the man after he had been pulled from the water by members of the public.
The man, aged in his 40s, was taken to hospital for treatment where he was pronounced dead.
Northumbria Police Chief Superintendent Kay Blyth said: “We’re in the process of notifying friends and family and our thoughts are with them at this incredibly sad time.
“There’s not believed to be any third party involvement and a report will be prepared for the coroner, and a future inquest will establish exactly what happened in this incident.
“However, I’d like to reiterate previous advice about staying safe around water. We know during hot weather more people spend time at the beach, at rivers and lakes and it’s important they are aware of the dangers.
“Open water can be extremely deceiving with powerful currents and tides and possible obstructions under the surface which pose a risk, even to strong swimmers.
“Some of the region’s beaches are staffed by Royal National Lifeboat Institute Lifeguards with safe bathing areas clearly marked with flags on the beach, we’d encourage people who want to go into the sea to visit these areas.”

Officers investigating an incident where a girl tragically died after being recovered from the water at Durdle Door are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
At around 11.30am today, Wednesday 18 April 2018, HM Coastguard received reports of a child and a woman in distress in the water at Durdle Door in Dorset.
The woman was rescued from the water by a member of the public. A Ministry of Defence military range safety vessel, which was in the area and responded to a Mayday broadcast, recovered the girl from the water.
The five-year-old girl, from Salisbury, was taken by the RNLI Weymouth Lifeboat to Weymouth and transferred by the ambulance service to Dorset County Hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead.
Detective Inspector Steve May, of Dorset Police, said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the young girl involved at this very difficult time.
“At this time there is nothing to suggest this was anything other than a tragic accident however, with the sudden death of any child we have an obligation to carry out an investigation to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed how the girl came to be in the water and has not already spoken to police to contact us immediately.
“There were also a number of visitors in the area at the time and I am appealing to anyone who may have filmed or photographed the incident to please get in touch as it may assist our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police at www.dorset.police.uk, via email [email protected] or by calling 101, quoting incident number 18:127.
