Father of three drowns in front of his family after ignoring signs warning not to swim in sea

A father-of-three drowned in front of his family after ignoring warnings not to swim in treacherous seas at a British holiday resort.
The 42-year-old holidaymaker and his son went for a dip in Teignmouth, Devon, despite red flags advising beach-goers not to enter the water.

They were hit by an 'extreme' tide and strong rip-currents and were dragged under as the man's terrified wife and two other children watched in horror.

She raised the alarm at around 4pm on Thursday and a police helicopter spotted her husband's body floating in the sea.

He was dragged back onto Pole Sands beach by lifeguards and was airlifted to Torbay Hospital, but he died before arriving.

moral of the story: DON'T swim when the COAST GUARD advises you NOT to!
