A Sunday afternoon dip turned into tragedy after a man identified as 21-year old Vishnu Ramroop, drowned at the Tyrico Bay, off the North Coast Road.
Ramroop was seen getting into difficulty while bathing around 2pm, following which he disappeared below the waves.
His friends and other beach-goers tried to rescue him but they were unable to.
Ramroop’s body was spotted floating in the water around 4:30pm.
It was retrieved and taken to the Port of Spain Mortuary.
This is the second drowning at Tyrico this month.
