MONTREAL – A 42-year-old Quebec man is dead after being pulled from the water off a Florida beach northeast of Orlando.
Volusia County Beach Safety, the local lifeguard and beach rescue service, writes in an email the man was found floating face down in a rip current shortly after noon on Friday, approximately 130-180 metres from shore.
Lifeguards brought him back to shore, where he was without a pulse.
The rescue service says lifesaving efforts were immediately performed by the lifeguards.
The man was transferred to Ormond Beach Fire Department followed by the Volusia County Emergency Medical Services, and was then transported to hospital.
He was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 28, 2025.
Note to readers:This is a corrected story. A previous version reported that the victim was 44 years old, according to Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue. However, the rescue service issued a correction saying the victim was in fact 42 years old.
