A 70 year old fisherman drowned

An elderly man from Toulouse was " meurt emporté par la grande marée" / died carried away by the sea. He had gone to Soulac-sur-Mer, au Nord de Bordeaux, dans le Médoc and geared up in neoprene and fisherman's waders off he went to fish. He was washed away by a wave and although he tried to swim he was weighed down by all his special clothing. When the SNSM (société nationale des sauveteurs en mer)  found the man, he was dead.   L'homme était inanimé. 
In all there were 15 emergencies along the coast and another death in Brittany.
