Fisherman's death at Bethells 'avoidable' if he'd worn a lifejacket

Melanie Earley Reporter from Nor-west News

Kia ora neighbours, a coroner has warned a lifejacket could be “the difference between life and death” after a fisherman drowned at Bethells Beach in 2019.

Myung Kang, 57, went missing on January 5, 2019. His body was found by a member of the public at Woodhill Forest Beach, near Muriwai, almost a week later.

A coroner’s report has revealed Kang, who lived on the North Shore, had not been wearing a lifejacket while fishing from the rocks.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
