Lifeguard Ben Carlson dies saving swimmer in Newport Beach
Lifeguard Ben Carlson, 32, a 15 year Newport Beach lifeguard veteran known as one of the best, died after diving from a lifeguard boat to rescue a distressed swimmer amid 10 to 12 foot swells. His death marks the lifeguard unit’s first in nearly a century. Carlson had traveled from Rancho Cucamonga and is survived by his father Chris Carlson. Rescue efforts involved about 75 lifeguards, seven boats, a helicopter, and multiple agencies as grief counselors assisted coworkers at the lifeguard headquarters.
