Lindsay Rose, a 15-year-old surfer from Goleta, California died Sunday after being found unconscious in the water at Sands Beach on April 1, 2009, according to a story on Noozhawk.

The Dos Pueblos High sophomore was discovered by other surfers face down in the water around 5:15 p.m. April 1 at Sands Beach near Devereux Slough. Paramedics were called to the scene and performed CPR and defibrillation, according to eyewitness accounts. . . .She was transported to Cottage Hospital where she was reportedly breathing on her own. Doctors put her in a drug-induced coma to help her recuperate, but she died Sunday morning.

Lindsay was a member of the Dos Pueblos High school surf team. Our thoughts are with her parents, family, and friends.

Lindsay was a freshman at DPHS, not a sophomore. She was an amazing girl, and she will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to the Rose family. I’ll miss you lindsay.

My family and I are deeply saddened to hear of this beautiful young woman. Only a parentwho has lost a child knows how deep the grief is..my heartfelt condolences to her parents and family. All of my family have asked me to send their thoughts and prayers to her family.
My daughter Michelle drowned at Campus Pointe in 2006 while surfing. The grief we still feel is as though it happened yesterday.
Lindsay will never be forgotten and she is with us, only a veil away.
Your spirit is strong Lindsay…
Again I have no words profound enough to express our grief and heartbreak for her family….
