On Patong Beach (Phuket), rescuers took out and resuscitated a tourist who was swept away by a strong sea current. According to reports, the victim was found in the water with no signs of life - his heart stopped.

Rescuers performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the shore and were able to restore the pulse. After successful resuscitation, rescuers handed the tourist over to the ambulance crew, which took him to the nearest hospital for further observation and treatment.

Information about the incident was confirmed by eyewitnesses and local media covering the work of the rescue service on the beaches of Phuket. The reports emphasize the speed of the rescuers' actions and the importance of conducting timely CPR before the arrival of an ambulance.

The available materials do not provide data on the condition of the tourist at the time of transfer to the hospital - only that the pulse was restored and the patient was sent for further treatment. Source(s): local reports and eyewitness reports covering the incident at Patong Beach.

In press materials about other events in Patong (arrests, raids, conflicts with restaurants), this incident was mentioned separately, without interconnection with police cases.
