Sea Tragedy Brit Tourist Dies After Being Pulled Unconscious From Water on Greek Beach


A BRITISH tourist has died after he was pulled unconscious from the water on a Greek beach.

The 64-year-old man was pulled out of the sea by holidaymakers at the beach of ​​Alykanas in Zante.

Bystanders informed the authorities and Coast Guards and an EKAV ambulance rushed to the scene on Friday morning around 9.15 local time (7.15 BST)

The man was taken to the Zakynthos General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to ERT Zakynthos, there was no lifeguard at the beach at the time of the incident.

A preliminary investigation is carried out by the Port Authority of Zakynthos.

Another Brit died on a Greek island last month after he was struck by lightning while paddleboarding.

Scott Seddon, 26, was in the water in the Agia Agathi area of Rhodes when he was electrocuted.

A British tourist drowned last year while on holiday in Crete.

The woman’s lifeless body was found washed up on the beach of Almyrida in Chania.
