            Brevard County Ocean Rescue reports two rip
            current–related fatalities earlier today
            around 1:00 p.m. in Cocoa Beach. According
            to local media, a woman in her 30s entered
            the water after her child was caught in a
            rip current near the S 5th St. beach access.
            A bystander also attempted to rescue the
            individuals but was also caught in a rip
            current. Brevard County Fire Rescue
            transported both adults to a local hospital,
            where they later died. The child survived;
            their condition is unknown. A High Risk of
            Rip Currents was in effect at the time of
            the incident.
