A 60-year-old woman visiting the Sunshine State from Missouri was the latest victim of the sea’s dangerous riptides in Panama City Beach on Sunday morning.In the latest tragedy, Debbie Szymanski, of St. Louis, was enjoying the beach near the Carillon neighborhood with her family when they realized she was not responding after going out for a swim at around 11:30 a.m., the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said.
The friends — Harold Denzel Hunter, 25; Jemonda Ray, 24; and Marius Richardson, 24 — checked into their rental near the Watercress Condominiums on the beach just before 8 p.m. and rushed into the ocean for a quick dip, according to the sheriff’s office.The Bay County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Services, Coast Guard and Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission all responded to the beach and searched the dark waters from ground level and above, using helicopters.
“I worry about the emotional toll that these situations take on first responders as I know I’m struggling with it as well,” he added.“I have such a heavy heart this morning about the loss of three young visitors to our community,” Ford said the following day. “I’m praying for their family and ask that you do the same. It is such a tragedy.”
Lifeguards pulled him from the gulf and began life-saving measures on the beach before he was brought to an area hospital in critical condition. He died in the emergency room, Panama City officials told the station. The sheriff’s office and other officials have repeatedly warned people to stay out of the gulf waters if red flags are posted.
