An eighty-four-year-old man has sadly passed away at La Roqueta beach in Guardamar del Segura on Sunday. Emergency services were alerted around midday, prompting the deployment of a unit from the Emergency Medical Attention Service, known as SAMU. Upon arrival, the medical team initiated advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other stabilisation techniques. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the man did not respond and they could only confirm his death.

An autopsy will determine the exact cause of death, although evidence suggests that drowning may have triggered this tragic incident. The Health Emergency Service of the Conselleria de Sanidad has issued a reminder to the public about the importance of exercising caution in the water, particularly for the elderly or individuals with prior health conditions.

For useful advice on preventing drowning and other hazardous situations while swimming, the service encourages the community to visit their official website. This tragic event serves as a reminder for all beachgoers to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety while enjoying the water.
