CANNON BEACH, Ore. - A U.S. Coast Guard swimmer helped pluck a naked, hypothermic man off the rocks south of Cannon Beach Tuesday night.

It appears the man had been swimming, got caught in the tide and then had to climb out onto the rocks.  Somehow, he ended up losing his clothes in the process.

A rescue swimmer helped get the man, who is in his 20s, into a helicopter. He was then taken to the hospital.
