A 9 YEAR-OLD BOY DIED AFTER HE WAS SWEPT OUT TO SEA YESTERDAY. THE BOY HAD BEEN PLAYING WITH HIS FATHER AT MONASTERY BEACH IN CARMEL, WHEN AN 8-12 FOOT TALL SNEAKER WAVE KNOCKED HIM DOWN, AND THE RIPTIDE PULLED HIM ABOUT 100 YARDS OFF-SHORE. ALTHOUGH 2 MEN ADMINISTERED C-P-R AFTER THEY PULLED THE BOY FROM THE OCEAN, HE WAS DECLARED DEAD A SHORTTIME LATER AT A NEARBY HOSPITAL.
