BAR HARBOR—A medical event at the Hulls Cove Beach, November 5, brought multiple emergency response crews and social media posts.
Numerous 9-1-1 calls around 6:30 a.m. brought an emergency response of police, fire, and medical crews to the beach with the initial traffic indicating that there were people trying to get a body out of the water and misrepresenting the person’s sex.
However, the person having a medical issue was alive, conscious, breathing, and a man and not at the beach for any nefarious reasons. There is no danger to the public. He was transported via ambulance to Mount Desert Island Hospital.
Hulls Cove is on a heavily trafficked route to Bar Harbor’s downtown area as well as to a main entrance for Acadia National Park. The site of the medical event was on a beach beside the road near the Chart Room Restaurant.
QUICK NOTE: The Bar Harbor Story does not typically write about medical emergencies. However, we had multiple queries about what happened and some wrong information was out there on the internet. Much strength and care to this man and his family and our hopes for a full and fast recovery.
