A 68-year-old Brit has died on a beach in Greece after going swimming and losing consciousness.
Officers from the Central Port Authority of Rhodes rushed to Lindos beach in Rhodes before taking him to the nearby Archangelos health centre, where he was pronounced dead, dimokratiki.gr reports. An autopsy is due to take place to determine the man’s cause of death.
It comes just weeks after a British tourist is suspected to have drowned after getting into difficulty in the sea. The holidaymaker went for a late-evening swim at the popular holiday resort of Fuengirola in Spain, with witnesses reporting he began struggling.
Police said onlookers then pulled him out of the water after calling emergency services. There was nothing the emergency responders could do to save him when they reached the beach and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
