Police officer dies after falling off jet ski

A police officer who died last week end after falling off a jet ski in a Welsh harbor has been named as father-of-one Barry Davies. 

Off-duty Mr. Davies, 50, died at the scene off the coast of Pwllheli, North Wales – his hometown – despite ‘extensive medical interventions’. 

He was described as ‘dedicated officer and father’ who ‘loved his job’. 

The alarm was raised shortly after 4.30pm on Saturday, with emergency services — including the Coastguard and RNLI attending — and the officer being retrieved from the water. 

His next of kin have been informed, North Wales Police said. Chief Constable Carl Foulkes explained:

We are extremely sad to confirm the death of one of our police officers who died off-duty today and our heartfelt sympathies go to his family, friends, and colleagues.
