Officers continuing to investigate incident on beach in Dorset that left eight other people injured
Police investigating the circumstances that led to the deaths of two children in the sea off Bournemouth have said early investigations indicate there was no physical contact between any vessels and the swimmers.
Dorset police said they received a report from paramedics at 4.32pm of people requiring assistance. Emergency services attended and 10 people were recovered from the water. Assistant Chief Constable Rachel Farrell of Dorset police said on Thursday that there was no suggestion of people jumping from the pier, or of jetskis being involved.
“I can also confirm there is no suggestion of people jumping from the pier or jetskis being involved.” She added: “I would sincerely like to thank members of the public who helped people in trouble in the water. I am also very grateful to the wider beachgoers who really quickly moved from the beach and allowed emergency services to do their work.”She asked people not to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the incident and to refrain from circulating videos on social media.
Tom Saunders, a surfer, told Sky News: “I was surfing on the west side with about four other people and we heard the lifeguard sirens going off, making announcements, and the beach got cleared either side.“Unfortunately, I saw someone receiving CPR. The lifeguards put up a screen so no one could see, but unfortunately from where we were we could.
