— from Sheriff Rob Nou —
On Tuesday, September 30, 2014 at about 3:15 p.m. Orcas Island Fire and Rescue, EMS and deputies were sent to a home in the Deer Harbor area on a report of a drowning. Rescuers found a 29 year old Portland, Oregon woman unconscious and unresponsive.
The caller pulled the victim from a hot tub, and immediately began CPR, which continued until rescuers arrived. Further resuscitation efforts proved unsuccessful.
Investigation into the death is continuing by the sheriff’s office, assisted by the coroner and the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office. The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of her relatives.
