Pulled from the water three times in one day after ignoring red flag. The fourth time, the man could not be saved.

A 62-year-old man has died after drowning in the Black Sea at the Eforie Nord resort, despite repeated rescues by lifeguards on the same day. The tragedy unfolded on Belona beach, where a red flag was prominently displayed, signaling dangerous sea conditions and prohibiting swimming.

Lifeguards first spotted the man in distress and managed to pull him from the water unconscious. Emergency services, including a SMURD helicopter, were dispatched to the scene. Medical personnel performed resuscitation maneuvers for several minutes, but their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. "The man did not respond to resuscitation efforts," stated a post on the Salvamar Eforie Nord Facebook page.

The man did not respond to resuscitation efforts.

According to lifeguards in Eforie Nord, this was not the first rescue of the day for the man. He had been pulled from the waves three times earlier that day but had re-entered the sea each time. "The man had been pulled from the waves three times today, but he went back into the sea. Respect the red flag and the lifeguards' instructions. Do not put your life at risk!" the post urged.

Lifeguards reiterated that the red flag is a serious warning of high danger and strictly prohibits entry into the water. They emphasized that disregarding these warnings can lead to tragic consequences, as tragically demonstrated in this case.
