“The young girl was found by her friends and colleagues roughly 30 minutes later and pulled out the water,” Netcare 911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst said. He said by the time paramedics arrived at the scene, lifeguards had already initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation . “An advanced life-support resuscitation was initiated by the Netcare 911 paramedic on scene, but despite best efforts by all involved, the child’s condition deteriorated and she was declared deceased on the scene.”
