Man Dies After Being Pulled From Ocean At NJ Nude Beach

SANDY HOOK, NJ - A swimmer died in the hospital Saturday after he was rescued by beachgoers off the coast of a nude beach in Monmouth County, officials said.

The man, whose identity was not released as of Monday, was unresponsive when he was pulled to shore out of an unguarded section of Gunnison Beach at Sandy Hook before noon, National Park Service spokeswoman Daphne Yun told Patch.

CPR was performed on the man and he was transported to Monmouth Medical where he was later pronounced dead, Yun added.

This isn't the first drowning reported at Sandy Hook this season: over Memorial Day weekend, there was a drowning at nearby Beach B, another non-lifeguarded section of Sandy Hook. A group of six swimmers were rescued from the ocean on May 28 and one of them, a 15-year-old boy, did not survive.

A missing swimmer’s body was also found Sunday morning at nearby Thompson Park in the Lincroft section of Middletown.
