Morbid Photography

Two weeks have passed since we lost two of our shift to the sea. The third person survived because of his strength - he managed to swim ashore.

He informed the police about what had happened to the two friends and how the small inflatable dingy had over turned, tipping all three into the sea about 15 foot from the shore, but this beach was renowned for the ebb tide and strong under currents.

It was on the Sunday the police called us out to go and rescue a body in the water. The duty officer picked out six men, without asking them which section or squadron were they from. They arrived at the cliff top and started to unpack the safety equipment ready to scale down an unsafe path to the water's edge.

The officer in charge asked for three volunteers to descend down to the waters edge with the stretcher and retrieve the body. One of the crew requested he remained at the top as he had just lost two good friends two weeks earlier and this could be one of them.

The three volunteers secured themselves to each other and to the anchor point at the top of the cliff and started to descend. The police were just keeping themselves out of the way as it was a military operation which simply required a police presence due to an unknown body in the water. There was a small crowd of people standing around wondering what was happening.

One person from the crowd was taking photos of the incident when the person who lost his friends asked the police to stop him from taking photos of the rescue. The police did this.

As the body was nearing the top of the cliff, the same photographer started to take photos again. The person who lost two of his friends went up to the photographer, took his camera and threw it over the cliff into the sea and the police turned a blind eye to this.

The body was one of his friend.
