Two men die after entering the sea in a rescue attempt at Seaton Carew beach in Hartlepool. Multiple outlets report that children got into difficulty in the water and that the two men went into the sea to help them. RNLI crews bring both men out of the water, and they receive immediate treatment at the scene. The Independent and other reports say the men are pronounced dead shortly after being recovered. The incident takes place on Sunday afternoon. One outlet also states that the children are confirmed safe and are taken to hospital to be checked over following the incident. Coverage agrees that the deaths occur in connection with the rescue effort, but does not provide further detail on what caused the children to get into difficulty or the circumstances surrounding the men’s entry into the water. The reports describe the RNLI’s role in recovering the men and the prompt medical response before they are confirmed dead.
