An individual was rescued by Barrow RNLI from the Walney Channel, near the Furness peninsula in Cumbria, at approximately 12:00 GMT on Monday. The rescue occurred after reports of a person shouting for help, with the individual found unresponsive and clinging to a boat’s boarding ladder. Rescuers stated the person was “unresponsive and clearly suffering the effects of having been in the water for some time.” Oxygen was administered in the lifeboat, followed by medical assistance from the North West Ambulance Service. Cumbria Police also attended the scene, and an HM Coastguard Rescue helicopter surveyed a section of the channel to ensure no other individuals were present in the water.
