Diver dies at Frankston Pier Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A MAN is dead after being hit by a speed boat in the water between Frankston and Mornington on Sunday, 5 May.

The man, in his twenties, was with another diver just before 1pm when he was struck by a speed boat. A passing boat picked up the diver and his dive partner and took them to Frankston Pier where they could get medical assistance. Paramedics arrived at the pier in order to per-

form CPR on the injured diver, but he could not be revived. He died at the pier. The second diver did not require medical assistance. The death sparked a search for the speed boat driver, who had yet to be identified in the hours following

the incident. Marine Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the death. A police boat and helicopter attended the scene, along with the Coast Guard. Investigators have appealed for assistance to help identify and locate

the driver of the boat. Witnesses to the incident or anyone who knows the identity of the driver are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au
