This incident involved two men who needed immediate medical attention. Three ambulances were dispatched to the beach, where Red Cross personnel attended to the men.

As per the statement, “he was pronounced dead on location.” Additionally, the Costa Rican Red Cross informed People that a strong current at the beach had pulled in two individuals; they were out of the water when paramedics arrived.

During his vacation with his family, Warner was 54 years old.
