The 16-year-old lifeguard who was critically injured on the job when his row boat capsized in Cape May on Thursday, 8/19, died from his injuries on Friday night, 8/20. Nelson Inferrera III of Phoenixville, PA, was patrolling in a lifeguard boat when it was broadsided by a wave and flipped over. He was hit in the head and knocked unconscious. Other lifeguards rescued him and started CPR on the beach. He was taken to Cape Regional Medical Center in Middle Township and later flown to Cooper University Medical Center in Camden in critical condition. His death was announced on Saturday morning. "My heart, prayers, and condolences go out to the Inferrera family," said Mayor Zachary Mullock in a press release. "Even at such a young age, Norman was loved by his fellow Lifeguards. No words can express the sadness suffered by all of our Beach Patrol family. Norman chose to protect others. He did so professionally and worked hard at it. That is an extraordinary attribute for anyone, especially at 16 years old. The Cape May community cares so deeply for those who protect us. I know this entire community is going to do anything it can for Norman's family and friends."
