27-Year-Old Man Dies After Being Pulled from Rip Current at Hampton Beach

A Massachusetts man who was pulled to shore in an ocean rescue last month has died, according to authorities.

Edmilson Gomes, 27, of Brockton, Massachusetts, died August 1, ten days after first responders pulled him and two others to shore from a dangerous rip current at Hampton Beach.

Authorities warn beachgoers to be wary of rip currents, which pull swimmers away from shore and appear between sand bars.
