Two men dead at Little Beach, Bouddi National Park
Rescue crews have pulled two bodies from the water on the NSW Central Coast.
Emergency crews were called just after 4pm on Saturday to reports of a body in the water at Little Beach in Bouddi National Park.
A 46-year-old man was pulled from the water. He was assessed by paramedics but died at the scene.
Police then launched another search after being told there was a second man still in the water.
The search – involving police helicopters, marine boats, and the Rural Fire Service – discovered the body of the second man, aged 67.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
A record 81 lives were lost in drowning incidents across Australia this summer, Royal Life Saving Australia said.
