The bodies of two young men were found at Lagoon Beach in Milnerton earlier today (22 July).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes after two young men, aged 19 and 20, were reported missing on the beach on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table View police and the police\u2019s diving services responded to north of Milnerton Beach this morning where the public reported the bodies of two men on the beach found during the Spring low tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cOn arrival on the scene the two bodies, that may be those of the two young men from yesterdays incident at Lagoon Beach, were recovered by police officers and police divers and taken into the care of Government Health Forensic Pathology Services. It must be noted that formal identification by families is protocol that has not yet been observed, and we cannot emphasise enough the respect of all care being provided by Police and Forensic Pathology to the families and friends in this sad tragedy that they are facing,\u201d The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) spokesperson Craig Lambinon says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It has been learned that surfers and a Good Samaritan, using an NSRI pink rescue buoy, tried to save the two young men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cWe have not been able to identify (the bodies). We commend (the teams) for their efforts despite the sad outcome,\u201d Lambinon says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambinonsaid their thoughts are with the families of the two men who went missing yesterday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cWe believe, they had reportedly chased after a soccer ball that landed in the surf while the local soccer team that they are a part of were playing soccer on the beach. Entering the water at Milnerton\u2019s Lagoon Beach, to retrieve the ball, it appears that they were both caught in strong rip currents,\u201d says NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
