Jack Osbourne plays down role in sea rescue

Jack Osbourne has played down his role in the rescue of a drowning woman last week.

The former reality TV star was initially reported to have gone into the sea and pulled a woman to shore after witnessing her going into cardiac arrest during his honeymoon in Hawaii.  However, the 26-year-old has since taken to his Facebook page to set the record straight about his exact involvement:

"On [October 10, 2012], I was approached by a family member telling me he had just seen a woman being pulled out of the water who'd drowned. I grabbed my friend Tyler, who was a former Army operator, and went to see if we could be of assistance...

"When Tyler and I arrived on the scene, the woman was not conscious and had approximately five people assisting in an attempt to resuscitate her... Once the woman was placed on the spine board, Tyler and I assisted in lifting her onto the cart."

Osbourne, who stated that he never personally said he was the sole person in the rescue, added: "Once she was loaded, everyone who had initially helped backed off. Tyler, myself, and another woman all got onto the cart with her. 

"The cart took off towards the front of the hotel... and Tyler and I began administering chest compressions... Once we arrived, we waited for the EMT [emergency medical technician] for approximately 4 to 6 minutes. During that time, I continued to administer chest compressions. As soon as the EMTs arrived, I backed away and let them take over."
