An inquest hears that a 15-year-old girl is swept out to sea after being caught by a reported 12-foot wave while taking photographs near the coast in January. The reports say the teenager, described as a keen content creator, goes into freezing water and is pulled out despite efforts from people nearby. The girl’s mother, Sarah, 45, then enters the water in an attempt to save her, according to accounts cited at the inquest. The reports also refer to a “Good Samaritan” who tries to help during the incident. Both the mother and the rescuer are described as dying in the attempt, though the inquest details reported focus on the sequence of events leading to the deaths. The inquest is considering the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the wave conditions and what people were doing at the time, based on testimony and reported findings.
