Priest drowns in Darłówko — sea rescue service clarifies circumstances

Fr. Rafał Cieszyński, 53, from Lębork drowned at the beach resort of Darłówko. Online speculation suggested he ignored a swimming ban, but a spokesperson for the Maritime Search and Rescue Service says the situation is not clear-cut. The accident occurred after lifeguards had finished their shift, meaning the red flag warning may have already been removed.
