Police issue water safety message following tragedy in Aitutaki

The tragic death by drowning of a 47 year old male visitor in Aitutaki has pro
mpted the Police Service to raise awareness about water safety and the shared
responsibility in the community to advise tourists about the risks in our lago
on environment.

The drowning this week is the third incident associated with kayaking, over th
e past year.  The previous tragedy involved two men from the United States, wh
o died at Muri late last year.

The man who died Wednesday got into difficulty after managing to help his youn
g daughter, who had tipped into the water while also kayaking.  Both are said
to be non-swimmers and had ventured into a deeper aera of the lagoon where the
re was a current.  Unfortunately, the man could not be revived by the local au
thorities.

The deceased is a Taiwanese national and Police have liaised closely with the
head of Foreign Affairs to communicate with the man's diplomatic representatio
n in New Zealand.  The body was flown to Rarotonga yesterday under charter and
 has been subject to a Coroner's report.  The man had been on holiday accompan
ied by his wife and daughter.

Water safety throughout the lagoon area of Rarotonga and also Aitutaki has bee
n widely promoted through campaigns and publicity material.  However, there is
 a need for ongoing awareness, especially in terms of operators and accommodat
ion facilities where kayaking is provided.  Life vests are too often overlooke
d as an option.

All visitors enjoying the lagoon environment should be made aware of the risks
, no matter how small and whether kayaking or not.  Tidal currents, the reef,
and channels, pose serious risks and should be avoided.
