A 42-year-old actor from Amsterdam, N.Y., ran up an Atlantic City, N.J., beach, obtained a small boogie board, and ran into the water after he became aware of a 58-year-old man struggling to stay afloat in rough water conditions on July 29, 2019. James Glorioso, Jr., swam and paddled through ocean swells to Thanh V. Bui, who was by then facedown in the water. Glorioso grasped Bui and turned him onto his back and placed him on the board. Glorioso held Bui to the board, but, despite kicking, he struggled to return to shore. Rescue personnel arrived and swam to Glorioso and Bui. They took Bui from him and then aided Glorioso in returning to shore, where Glorioso was weak, muscles cramping, and dehydrated, though he recovered. Bui could not be revived.
