A 56-year-old father of two from Dublin, Ireland died surfing Saturday on the island of Inis Oirr from hitting his head on a rock after falling “awkwardly from his board,” according to a story on Herald.ie.
Shocked family members watched in horror as the tragedy unfolded off Ceann na Faochán on the southwest of Inis Oirr. . . He was unable to swim back to shore and was pulled from the water by his son who attempted resuscitation while another family member ran for help. . . The medical student gave his father the kiss of life but his efforts failed.
Our thoughts are with is family and friends.
