The coroner's concerns
1. no lifeguard cover on Cornish beaches
“These incidents both occurred on Bank Holiday Monday. Ordinarily, I understand the RNLI is responsible for the provision of lifeguard cover (during peak season) at something in the order of 240 beaches. On the day of these incidents, there was no lifeguard cover on any Cornish beach.”
