The joint SAR team finally found a British foreign national (WNA) who drowned on Legian Beach, Badung Regency, Bali Province on the third day of search and was in a state of death.
"The discovery of the body of a British foreigner at 12.30 WITA by the joint SAR team and the defense equipment used to evacuate was a jetski from the balawista (tirta tourism rescue agency)," said Head of the Bali Basarnas Office I Nyoman Sidakarya, Friday, September 26.
On Wednesday (24/9), a British foreigner named Harrison Edward Nada Kontounas (23) was swept away after previously being with two other people being seen exercising and swimming on Legian Beach, at 17.00 WITA.
The three of them swam around the red flag, until they were finally given a warning by the coast guard. As many as two people managed to pull over, unfortunately Harrison was swept away by the current and drowned.
Basarnas Bali, which received a report at 6:40 p.m. local time, immediately dispatched five personnel to search for victims. On the first day of the search, the SAR team did not search for sea routes. They can only walk along the shoreline because it is not possible to lower the SAR equipment.
The search for the sea only took place on the second day with a rubber boat combing an area of 15 NM2 and jetski searching in a different area of 15 NM2, assisted by one helicopter. The search for one British foreigner that was swept away has not been successful, but in today's search continued, the victim was found.
Initially, the joint SAR team moved one rubber boat and two jetskis along the waters of Kelan Beach to the vicinity of the scene, while the land SRU followed the location of the incident along the shoreline to the north.
At 11.20 WITA, the joint SAR team conducted a search using jetski in the waters of Legian Beach, but gave no results and only when searching for the next sort, the SAR team found the victim.
Nyoman Sidakarya said that Harris Edward was found at coordinates 08.42'04.58 "S-115 deg8'56.11" T, precisely 1 Nm northwest of the scene.
The foreigner who was found dead was then taken to Prof. Ngoerah Denpasar Hospital.
