yossi-kreimanYossi Kreiman, a 23 year-old chosson who got engaged  less than a month ago, passed away in a water sports accident. Yossi was from Los Angeles, California, and planning his wedding.

Sadly, that day will not come.

His friends and neighbors received the horrifying news on Friday that the young bochur was killed in a water sports accident.

The news about his death was held – so the kallah, who was in Israel, could be notified properly – and the details remain unclear.

He is survived by his parents, Nachman Ber and Devorah Kreiman of Los Angeles, and his siblings.

The levaya will take place today, at 2:00 PM, at Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon, located at 7215 Waring Ave in Los Angeles. The Kevurah will take place at Mount Olive Cemetery, 7231 E. Slauson Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90040 at 3:30 PM.

Shiva will be at 180 S. Highland Avenue (Corner 2nd).

The following is from a report in the Daily Breeze:

A diver pulled from the waters off Redondo Beach was pronounced dead Friday afternoon following a rescue operation by county lifeguards, a fire official said.

The man was one of three people who had been reported missing by a fellow diver after the group dove south of the Redondo Beach pier, said county fire Inspector Frederic Stowers.

As a six-person rescue team responded to the incident just before 1 p.m., two individuals surfaced in the water, Stowers said. The third diver had to be rescued from the sea and was initially reported to be in critical condition.

“They brought the body up from about 15 to 18 feet below,” Stowers said.

The man – whom he could not identify – was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced dead, Stowers said.

Another diver suffered minor injuries due to exhaustion but did not go to the hospital, Stowers said.

The group had been diving not far from the Ruby Street lifeguard tower when rescue workers got a call at 12:52 p.m., he said.

“Apparently a diver who surfaced reported the missing divers. They may have lost their orientation as to where they were in the water,” Stowers said.

Stowers described the response as “pretty rapid,” given that “by 1:15 p.m., everybody had been accounted for.”

Joggers and beachgoers in the area stood watching Friday as lifeguards searched the waters with Redondo Beach’s Harbor Patrol.

Resident Carl Bjorck said he heard cries for help while working from his home office on The Esplanade.

“I’ve seen and heard a lot of things,” said Bjorck, who has views of the beach and the city pier. “It was this frantic call for help. It just got worse and worse and worse.”

Bjorck, who photographed the scene, described how he and others ran to help a man who was “crawling up on the beach coughing on all fours.”

Bjorck recounted how the man said his buddy was in the water when he went into shock. A lifeguard equipped with a snorkel mask found the diver in about 15 feet of water near the location of a former jetty, said Bjorck, who surfs in the area.

“The one thing that I didn’t see … I didn’t see a buoy there. There was no diving marker.”

After the man was located, Bjorck said the rest of the lifeguards jumped in and helped bring him to shore, where they performed resuscitation efforts.
