Another drowning in Galvo?

[JFD94]

Has anyone heard anything recently? Are they still searching, did they find anything, are they calling it off?

[WestEndAngler]

They had planned to continue the search effort for the still missing man at first light.

Called my wife and daughter to see where they were for dinner...we're on the beach, come meet us! Cool, get off work and call...where are yall at? By Murdoch's and the Balinese pilings!
Oh chit....very eeery fishing with the current running from where it happened, and the coastys cruising 200ft in front of you. As of dark....I'm pretty sure the young man had not been recovered yet.

Man, that's sad news. Prayers sent for him and his family.

Our planet is 75% water ya'll, teach yourself and your children how to swim.

[JFD94]

I just do not understand why people who supposedly do not know how to swim even get in the water, rough or not!

X2 and prayers for him and his family.

X2 on that! I just do not understand why people who supposedly do not know how to swim even get in the water, rough or not!

It's unfortunate but the body will be hopefully washed up on shore down current. Let's just pray that he is recovered safe if he in deed as passed already let's just pray that they recover the body for the family.

It's in the report... 21 year old man was reported face down in the water other 3 (all female) were rescued 2 of which by a by stander & 1 was rescued by the lifeguard. You'd think the lifeguard would have taken the 2 & the by stander would have just got one...

Humm, Donna just called me saying it was a 21 year old. How the heck did she know so fast?

According to the Galveston Beach Patrol, around 1:15pm, a group of young people -- three women and one man -- from the Houston area were out in the water off the seawall near 45th Street. The life guard thought the swimmers were a little far out, although they were still within the legal swimming limits.

The life guard had entered the water to warn the swimmers when they began to struggle and yelled for help. A bystander witnessed the scene and was able to rescue two victims while the life guard saved one. The witness says the 21-year-old male victim was spotted face down, though no one actually saw him go under.

The Coast Guard assisted with the rescue effort with a boat and helicopter.

The beach patrol says they are now conducting the situation as a drowning victim recovery effort.

Doesn't sounds good... :-(

Just heard they are looking for a missing swimmer (missing since 1PM CST)

I drove past there only a couple of hours ago and remember thinking it looked like the beach-goers finally got some calmer, safer waters. Weird to imagine someone drowning there after that.
