REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - An unresponsive man was pulled from the water at Revere Beach Tuesday, state police said.
Troopers responding to reports of a possible drowning found the man unconscious around 3 p.m.
A group of bystanders reportedly dragged him from the water and frantically gave him CPR, and he was taken to Whidden Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
“It was very sad, everybody was in shock,” said Jaclyn Firestone, an off-duty nurse at Beth Israel in Boston, who joined lifeguards in trying to revive the man. “We tried to do the best we could and I don’t think it was successful.”
No additional details were immediately released.
