cardinalblue Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 In an early article, both were swimming and stated they ignored lifeguards warnings. When the Thai doctor saw other man in trouble, he swam over to try to save him and both became victims. I wonder what version is correct? I still have serious concerns about the lifeguard procedures and equipment here. Timing is everything in drownings. They pulled them out after their deaths. When their bodies washed ashore? Why not before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the conditions which caused the drownings prevented an earlier search? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
