There were two (2) tragic drownings within a few hours on Sunday (7th August 2022) at the Maracas and Tyrico beaches. The first incident occurred around 3:30 PM at Maracas Bay, when David Khan, a citizen of the United States, was in the water when he started experiencing difficulties and soon disappeared. Despite efforts by both lifeguards and members of the public, he was unable to be found in the water.
His body later resurfaced around 5:50 PM and was brought to shore by three (3) men who had been part of the search party. Although CPR was performed, it was unsuccessful and he was later pronounced dead. Insp Ramsingh along with Sgts Jack and Rajkumar visited the scene. While Officers were overseeing the removal of Khan’s body at Maracas Bay, a report of a second drowning came in — this time at Tyrico Bay. According to eyewitnesses, Joshua Serrette, 24, of Maracas, St. Joseph, was in the water around 6:00 PM when he got into difficulties and disappeared. Other beachgoers were able to drag him to shore and a visiting Doctor from the Albert Einstein Hospital in the U.S., Dr. Dave Gokool, performed CPR on Serrette. First responders then rushed him to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital, where he was unfortunately pronounced dead at 7:42 PM. The tragedies occurred four (4) days after lifeguard Anthony Paul warned that Tyrico beach continued to be without a lifeguard service, and that beachgoers to this particular site would be undertaking a sea-bath at their own risk. Enquires are continuing into both incidents. [Source: T&T Guardian] We are a small operation.
