On February 1st, 2025, the RSCNPF received a report from the SKNDF-Coast Guard of a suspected drowning at Shitten Bay. The incident occurred between 11AM and 11:30AM. Our investigations revealed that eighty-one (81)-year-old John Edward Jeffrey, a cruise tourist from London, England (passenger on vessel Iona), had been snorkelling when he was observed to be stationary in the water. He was quickly brought aboard the snorkelling tour vessel, but all attempts to resuscitated him proved futile. He was transported to the Coast Guard pier where he was pronounced deceased. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the precise cause of death.
