A 9-year-old Pawtucket boy has died after suffering a medical emergency at Jones Beach in Dartmouth.

 

The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said the incident happened around 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

 

When first responders arrived, the boy was on the beach with bystanders giving him CPR. He was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the DA’s office said.

 

Witnesses said the boy was swimming and got out of the water on his own, but started to experience medical distress while on the beach.

 

The incident is not considered suspicious, but remains under investigation.
