A ROYAL Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) marine has been rescued by fishermen after reportedly falling overboard from HMBS Rolly Gray off New Providence.
The RBDF reported that early on Sunday morning Marine Seaman Neville Dorsette was rescued by fishermen in the vicinity of Coral Island near Arawak Cay, after reportedly falling overboard.
He was eventually turned over to Defence Force personnel who transported him by ambulance to Doctors Hospital for a medical evaluation. Following brief observations, Marine Seaman Dorsette was released and is now with friends and family.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is ongoing.

Captain aught to be held accountable, ain't just the ship he is responsible for!
