“Firefighters arrived within 6 minutes of dispatch and quickly realized this was an ocean rescue with a confirmed victim under water and ordered a regional ocean rescue response,” police said.
In a multiagency operation, nine rescue swimmers performed a grid search where the victim was thought to be.
The victim, later identified as Nakamura, was found just an hour after the search was launched.
