EDMONDS – Edmonds police and fire assisted a 38-year-old diver Sunday who appeared to be having a heart attack as he was beginning his dive at Brackett’s Landing.

The man, who is believed to be from Auburn, was in about 5 feet of water with several other divers when he began having problems, said Edmonds Police Sgt. Mark Marsh.

About 11 a.m., an off-duty police officer, who was directing nearby ferry traffic, joined an Edmonds police officer in starting CPR on the man, Marsh said.

Medics from the Edmonds fire department then arrived and gave additional medical assistance to the man, who was transported to Stevens Hospital.
