74-year-old swimmer dies on Los Alcazares beach
The elderly man lost consciousness while swimming at Los Narejos beach
A 74-year-old man died on Tuesday July 25 in Los Alcázares. Lifeguards patrolling Los Narajos beach noticed the unconscious victim floating in the water at 12:43pm and immediately sprung into action, dragging him onto the sand.
They quickly established that the elderly man was in cardiorespiratory arrest and began resuscitation techniques but, sadly, the bather died on the beach.
Despite the presence of Local Police officers, paramedics and ambulances from the City Council Emergency and Civil Protection Service, nothing could be done to save the man’s life.
Last week, a four-year child drowned in a swimming pool in Molina de Segura. The little boy was pulled unconscious and vomiting from the water and rushed to the Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital in a critical condition where he died two days later.
