On Sunday morning, an adult male named Anthony Goode drowned after getting caught in powerful waves off Playa del Rey, a Southern California beach. The Los Angeles Fire Department received reports of someone in distress around 8:18 AM and rushed to the scene, but despite lifeguards' efforts including CPR, Goode was pronounced dead at the site. His devastated sister, Verline Celestine, later returned to the area and live-streamed footage showing the dangerous surf conditions, expressing disbelief that her brother ventured into such rough waters knowing he couldn't swim. A makeshift memorial for Anthony, with his name written in the sand surrounded by hearts and candles, was created at the beach.
