Woman Dies After Pulled From Water Manhattan Beach, NJ Drowning Reported

A 55-year-old woman died after being pulled from the water at Manhattan Beach Park in Brooklyn on Monday evening, around 6:15 p.m., a time when lifeguards were off duty and swimming was prohibited. The woman was found unconscious and unresponsive by lifeguards and was taken to Coney Island Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The city Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is working to determine the exact cause of death, which may be ruled a drowning. The incident highlights the dangers of swimming at unguarded beaches after lifeguards leave, with this woman potentially becoming at least the fourth drowning victim at New York City beaches so far this year. In a related event, another person drowned and six others were rescued from a rip current at an unguarded beach in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on the same day. Police have not made any arrests, and the investigation into the Brooklyn incident is ongoing.
