A 30-year-old male that entered the Kinneret to swim died in yet another fatal drowning incident in Israel. Ichud Hatzalah received a call and volunteers responded immediately, manning the Ichud Hatzalah rescue boat and they headed out to search for the man, whose lifeless body was eventually located.
Ichud’s Gilad Chanun explains “We were summoned at about 02:30, with the callers reporting someone drowned near the boardwalk in Tiveria. Along with other medics, I headed out to search for the victim, whose lifeless body we found about 90 minutes later. A physician had no alternative but to pronounce the victim dead on the scene.”
