Businessman Recounts Tragic Moments at Site of Motiejus Lisauskas's Death

K. Sankauskas, a businessman, shared his account of the tragic drowning of Motiejus Lisauskas, which occurred during a festival in Nida. Sankauskas described his last interactions with Lisauskas as positive and forward-looking.

“

We joked with him more than once, agreed that we would do a joint project next week, that we would film about cars, because the weather is good, we need to drive with convertibles. We were in a good, positive mood.

We were in a good, positive mood," Sankauskas told Delfi. He recalled waving goodbye to Lisauskas before 7 a.m. and going to sleep, only to wake up around noon.

Upon waking, Sankauskas noticed emergency services arriving. "I saw a fire truck, firefighters with a boat. It was around 2 p.m.," he recalled. Initially, he read in the press that someone had drowned in Nida but did not react strongly until he saw messages from friends indicating it was Motiejus.

Driven by their close relationship and a desire to dispel rumors, Sankauskas went to the rescue site. He confirmed Lisauskas's identity with the rescuers. "It turned out that during lunch, a few of them decided to swim, and one just couldn't resurface. At that time, there was a red flag, maybe currents, maybe something else, maybe Motiejus was very engrossed. It happened as it happened. It's a great pity, it hurts," he said.

Sankauskas organized a gathering on the beach that evening to commemorate Lisauskas. "So, the message is that we need to cherish every moment, enjoy every day, because there are fewer and fewer summers, you don't know when your last sunset will be," he reflected. Official reports state that emergency services received a call at 1:49 p.m. about a person missing in the water. Despite resuscitation efforts, the man was pronounced dead at 2:41 p.m.
