Man drowns on at Ettalong Beach on the New South Wales Central Coast

A man has drowned on the New South Wales Central Coast. Onlookers and the man’s son jumped into the water to rescue him, but he couldn’t be saved. The man in his 30s died after being caught in a rip at Ettalong Beach. Police and paramedics swarmed the beach on Saturday afternoon, talking to witnesses but also trying to comfort those who attempted CPR. Jet skiers spotted the man faced down in the water about 15 metres from shore, but by the time he was rescued and brought onto a marine boat, he died. It is the 42nd death this summer on Australian beaches.
