• Divers located the unresponsive teen about 30 yards from shore after roughly 10 minutes, and first responders performed CPR before rushing him to MetroWest Medical Center.
• City officials confirmed no lifeguards were on duty at the beach, citing a broader shortage of certified staff during the summer.
