A Pawtucket boy has died from an incident in Massachusetts.
The incident took place at around 7:30 pm Sunday evening, when first responders were called to Jones Beach in Dartmouth.
They found bystanders performing CPR on the boy; the nine-year-old was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses say the boy was able to get out of the water himself, but collapsed.
A medical emergency is believed to be the cause of his death.
