OCEAN CITY — On Aug. 16 at 2:32 p.m., the Ocean City Police Department responded to the 32nd Street beach for an unconscious and unresponsive female at the water’s edge.
Sgt. Tim Williams utilizing one of the patrol squads four-wheel drive vehicles entered the beach and responded to the victim’s location, according to a release.
Upon arriving, Williams was informed that the victim, Heather E. Minoff, 29, of New York, N.Y., was not breathing and did not have a pulse. She was, at the time, being treated by on-duty lifeguards.
Williams immediately retrieved the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) from his police vehicle. He applied the AED to the victim preparing her for the shock treatment to restore the heartbeat.
Immediately after the first shock was applied by Williams, Minoff began to breath, her pulse was restored and she opened her eyes.
Minoff was transported to Shore Memorial Hospital in Somers Point where her condition was unknown at the time of the release.
Minoff told officers at the hospital that she was “boogie boarding” and had trouble catching her breath. When she left the water she sat down and lost consciousness. That was the last thing she remembered.
