Debilitating currents swirl as rescuers search Grand Haven area
Dave Benjamin of the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project aided bystanders in a search at a state park where a swimmer, later named Diaz, died after going under. Five feet of water proved fatal despite CPR. Reports of distress subsided with no further missing persons. Red flags and gusty winds fueled dangerous rip currents, with Holland State Park conducting a separate, non linked revival.
