A 45-year-old man drowned on Wednesday on Playa El Carabassí in Elche.
Members of the rescue and lifeguard service pulled the unconscious bather out of the water and attempted to revive him, before being joined by both a SAMU and Advanced Life Support ambulances sent from El Altet.
Despite the lifeguards having started cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres, which the health team continued, the man had died.
The autopsy will now determine the causes of death.

Another 73-year-old man also died while bathing on the Poniente beach in Benidorm. Three other bathers have had to be treated today by the health services, two in swimming pools in Sant Joan d’Alacant and El Campello and another on Muchavista beach.
