| 24.01.2010 09:07 The ILB was launched following a 999 call to Sussex Police reporting a sighting of a body off the harbour entrance. As the crew were preparing to launch further information came in that a person had been recovered alive, but unconscious, in the vicinity. The crew made best speed and recovered the person into the boat where they immediately administered Oxygen, started warming her up and making for shore. The casualty had been in the water for up to 30 minutes and was severely hypothermic, but as she warmed and the Oxygen took effect she regained a low level of consciousness and was able to tell the crew her name. She was landed shortly and transferred to a waiting ambulance. Meanwhile the boat was re-tasked to a further report of a body in the water. Although it was suspected to be the same incident the crew re-launched, and having placed one crew member on the harbour arm to interview people commenced a search. Afte a short time, and with the help of some personal effects at the scene, it became clear this was indeed the same person and the crew, having completed a thorough search anyway, were stood down. The lady recovered from the water is understood to have made a full recovery and was allowed home from hospital later that day. |
