A man watching a sea rescue by lifeguards at Chelsea av. beach suffered a heart attack at 3 P. M. today and was pronounced dead on arrival at city hospital after efforts for an hour to resuscitate him failed. He was identified as Thomas Carter, 43, a Canadian living in this country one year, now employed as a bartender at a beachfront hotel. His address was given as 126 N. Sovereign av., in Chelsea Village.
His wife, Elona, a Czechoslovakian war bride who expects to become a mother in January, appeared at the hospital to identify her husband.
Carter was standing on the hulk of an old vessel now deep in the sands at Chelsea av., watching the guards rescue a girl who had gotten into deep water. As the guards approached the beach, they saw Carter topple from his perch. They got him to the beach and summoned doctors with first aid equipment. The emergency crew worked on Carter for an hour and when examination by the doctors failed to disclose any spark of life, the body was ordered removed to the hospital.
The body remained in the hospital morgue last night.
The body will be sent to Montreal, Canada, by the George H. Wimberg Funeral Home.
