Teen Drowns at New Jersey Beach With No Lifeguard; 5 Others Rescued from Dangerous Rip Current

A 15-year-old boy tragically drowned at an unguarded New Jersey beach known for dangerous rip currents.
Five others were pulled from the turbulent waters at Sandy Hook Beach and taken to nearby hospitals, including three who remain in critical condition.
The teen was pronounced dead after heroic attempts to resuscitate him by emergency responders and witnesses.
The dangerous beach conditions came despite warnings from the National Weather Service to beachgoers about a high risk of rip currents during the busy Memorial Day weekend.
The boy's death has highlighted calls for lifeguards at all public beaches to prevent such tragic outcomes.
