A 58-year old retired nurse reportedly drowned in South Florida seas last weekend in an accident.
According to Broward Sheriff’s Office, Mary Darnley – a recently certified scuba diver was with her husband and other divers at the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. The couple and the group, after a fun day scuba diving, decided to swim ashore. Darnley’s husband went ahead and thought that his wife was following him. However, when he and the others turned around, they saw her body floating in the ocean.
The group immediately brought Darnley into shore and administered Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, their efforts were to no avail. They immediately rushed her to the Holy Cross Hospital. However, hospital officials declared her dead an hour later.
The couple, who lives in Pennsylvania and came in Florida for a vacation, stayed at the Yacht Haven Park and Marina in Fort Lauderdale. They usually go south each year whenever it is winter time in their state.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Darnley received her scuba certification two months ago. The Broward Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled that Darnley’s death was accidental.
