Elderly Women Rescued From Beach In Mashpee On Saturday

On Saturday afternoon, an elderly woman was pulled from the water at John’s Pond in Mashpee and rescued by two bystanders. The incident prompted a 12:20 PM call to the Mashpee Fire Department, which also alerted the Mashpee Police Department and Harbor Master. Emergency crews arrived to find the woman unconscious and not breathing.

As CPR was being administered, the patient reportedly began breathing and was swiftly transported to Cape Cod Hospital by ambulance. Upon arrival, first responders noted the woman seemed to be "doing better," though a department captain declined to provide further details about her condition post-hospital arrival. As of Saturday evening, the department could not specify the cause of the drowning incident.
