<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - 25-year-old man drowns in Alicante river, the fourth death in the area in a month

The lifeless body of a 25-year-old man was pulled from a Strait of Bolulla ravine in Callosa d'En Sarrià on Monday May 9, the fourth person to lose their life at the natural area in the Marina Baixa area which is popular with walkers.

Just after 7pm, the Centre for Information and Coordination of Emergencies (CICU) was alerted to the latest tragedy after the young man was pulled unconscious from the water by several witnesses, although it's not clear if they were known to the victim.

They performed basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation manouevres on the young man until paramedics and firefighters with a rescue helicopter arrived. Sadly, despite carrying out advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other stabilisation techniques, there was no response and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

In April, two hikers and a guide perished after falling down a waterfall and drowning in the Algar River in two separate accidents just a week apart.
