Did anyone see the video of the rescue of this poor guy, they were walking him off the beach. He was being carried by a group of people. Since he died later, I’m guessing he bled to death. If time is of the essency, why didn’t they drive a vehicle to him????

I can only speculate the beach was closed after labor day and no vehicle capable of driving on sand was available.

It is almost certain his femoral artery was severed in his leg, or legs, and he would bleed to death in a matter of minutes.

The man attacked a few weeks earlier in that same area of the Cape survived because his femoral artery was not severed. -tom

There’s big cliffs there, 4x4 wheeler might be able to get down the sand trail to the beach but not an ambulance.

And Cape Cod Hospital is at least an hour away from this beach, which is in the middle of nowhere.
