A 45-year-old German tourist has died after snorkelling near Es Vedrà, in Ibiza, according to information from the SAMU 061 emergency service. The woman became unwell when she boarded the catamaran on which she was sailing after snorkelling and eventually lost consciousness. A boat in the area with qualified health personnel on board approached the catamaran and took the victim to shore, where the Cala d’Hort lifeguards took over and tried to revive her, without success.

An SAMU 061 Advanced Life Support ambulance was sent to the beach, but could do nothing to save the life of the woman who died on the beach.
