Police have identified the victim in the water-related death at Spotts Beach on Monday afternoon as 21-year-old Rovyn Jerone Cameron, a Jamaican national living in the Cayman Islands.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, police said the man had been identified by a family member. The RCIPS had previously issued an appeal to the public to help them identify the unknown victim.
The man was fully clothed when he entered the water, police said. They released a description of him, including that he had a recent injury on his thumb, in the hopes of someone recognising him.
The victim died after getting into difficulties and losing consciousness in the sea off Spotts Beach around 4:40pm on Monday. He was pulled from the water by members of the public who administered CPR until emergency services arrived. After being taken by ambulance to the Cayman Islands Hospital, he was pronounced dead, police said.
