A woman lying face down and motionless in the Pacific Ocean off San Francisco’s Ocean Beach was rescued and resuscitated on Wednesday morning but died later at a local hospital, authorities said.

The woman, identified as Kam Moy, 64, of San Francisco, was spotted about 20 yards offshore near the Lincoln Way steps, said Lt. Jonathan Baxter, a spokesman for the San Francisco Fire Department. She was pulled from the surf by park rangers and firefighters.

Fire Department paramedics were able to revive the woman, who was taken to UCSF Medical Center at 11:20 a.m. in critical condition, Baxter said. The city medical examiner’s office said Moy died later in the day.

The incident comes after a surfer died Sunday at Ocean Beach. The surfer, identified by the medical examiner’s office as Jason Zumbo, 29, of San Francisco, was pulled from the water near Rivera Street and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
