NEW YORK
Police say lifeguards pulled Daniel O'Neil out of the water
around 3 p.m. Saturday near Beach 25 Street in the Rockaways. The
lifeguards tried to revive the 19-year-old, but he was pronounced
dead soon after being taken to a hospital.
It wasn't immediately clear what swimming conditions were like
in the area when O'Neil began having trouble. Lifeguards on nearby
Long Island have reported rescuing an unusually high number of
swimmers from rip currents in the last 10 days.
