A teenager died hours after lifeguards pulled him from the Atlantic Ocean off Sandy Hook late Tuesday afternoon, according to an NBC New York report.
Sarnad Rizvi, 17, of South Plainfield was in the water between beaches C and D — an area not monitored by lifeguards — Daphne Yun, a spokeswoman for Gateway National Park Service, told the television station.
After Rizvi was reported missing, lifeguards responded, pulled him out within 30 minutes, and attempted resuscitation efforts, the report said.
Rizvi was pronounced dead at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch early Wednesday morning.
