A 30-year-old male that entered the Kinneret to swim died in yet another fatal drowning incident in Israel. Ichud Hatzalah received a call and volunteers responded immediately, manning the Ichud Hatzalah rescue boat and they headed out to search for the man, whose lifeless body was eventually located.
Ichud�s Gilad Chanun explains �We were summoned at about 02:30, with the callers reporting someone drowned near the boardwalk in Tiveria. Along with other medics, I headed out to search for the victim, whose lifeless body we found about 90 minutes later. A physician had no alternative but to pronounce the victim dead on the scene.�
