Man drowns on Costa del Sol beach

A man drowned in Fuengirola this past Wednesday evening, after the emergency units were unable to resuscitate him.

It was around 9.10pm when the maritime rescue unit, the Local and the National Police, the Guardia Civil and the health emergency unit were mobilised to the beach in Fuengirola, after receiving several calls reporting that a man was having difficulties getting out of the sea. He was about 60 metres from the shore.

Two people were able to pull the victim out of the water and bring him to shore. Despite their best efforts, the operatives could not save him and he died at the scene.
