    Report summary

    Christopher Broom fell into the water while fishing from the harbour wall at Charlestown on the night of 6 September 2015 and drowned; it was unclear how he fell, and he could not swim. Concerns included there being only one lifebelt, located some distance away and difficult to see, and no lighting at the end of the harbour wall, making the wall’s end and the lifebelt difficult to identify at night.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of lighting at the end of the harbour wall

    Wider context from the report

    “The first is that there was only one lifebelt available. This was some distance from where Mr Broom was fishing and was very difficult to spot. Witnesses thought a lifebelt may have helped Mr Broom to survive. The second is that there was no lighting at the end of the harbour wall so that visitors to the harbour at night could not judge where the wall ended and in addition made the aforementioned lifebelt almost invisible. ”
