Poor lady. To contemplate walking into the cold water at night and taking your life is so sad. Hope she gets the help she needs. Well done to all the emergency services involved in rescuing this poor lady.
could have been going for a late night swim and suffered a sudden cold shock when entering the water. Not always attempted suicide.
I wonder if this is the same lady they have rescued before from Sandown twice ? Hope she gets the help she needs
