A man has died from a suspected cardiac arrest after he was pulled from the surf at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
A member of the public brought the man, 82, to shore and began CPR just before 10am, which came to the attention of Surf Life Saving NSW State Operations Centre (SOC).
Lifeguards then took over CPR, until paramedics arrived.

It comes after Surf Life Saving NSW reported a total of 54 coastal drownings for the period dating 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
