Man died saving four kids from rough sea in Tasmania.

A tragic incident occurred at a beach in southern Tasmania yesterday when a man lost his life while attempting to save four children who were struggling in rough waters. Emergency services were called to Carlton Beach at around 1pm after receiving reports of the group's distress in the strong currents. Thankfully, members of Surf Life Saving were able to quickly respond and rescue five people from the water.

Despite the efforts of paramedics who performed CPR on the man, he unfortunately passed away at the scene. Police Inspector Darren Latham shared in a press conference that the man was initially conscious when he was brought onto a boat, but later lost consciousness and CPR was immediately initiated. Despite the best efforts of the paramedics, the man could not be revived.

Thankfully, the children who were rescued did not require any medical treatment. It was reported that they were swimming in an unpatrolled area of the beach, away from the designated safe zones marked by red and yellow flags. According to long-time resident Kristine Wolf, this particular section of the beach is known for its unpredictable currents and hidden drop-offs. She also mentioned that there have been previous drownings in the area and it is generally considered unsafe for swimming.

The police will be conducting a thorough investigation and preparing a report for the coroner to determine the cause of the man's death. This serves as a reminder for all beachgoers to always swim in designated and patrolled areas to ensure their safety. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the man's family and friends during this difficult time. Let us all take this as a lesson to always prioritize safety when enjoying the beautiful beaches of Tasmania.
