Lifeguards on the beach at Hollywood warned the 65 year old female to stay out of the rough surf, but despite the warning the lady was later found unconscious by a public works official and was pulled to shore near Michigan Street and North Ocean Drive around 9 AM. Rescue workers performed resuscitation techniques on the victim until they reached Memorial Regional Hospital. The victim died later that day of heart failure.
