A man has died after being pulled from the sea at Troya beach in south Tenerife this morning (Tuesday).
The Canary Islands emergency coordination centre, CECOES 112, received the alarm just before 8:30am. Callers reported that a man had been brought ashore with signs of drowning and was in cardiac arrest.
People at the beach had already begun cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, as emergency assistance was requested.
CECOES immediately sent emergency resources to the beach in Las Américas. While medical teams were on their way, a coordinator from the Canary Islands Emergency Service spoke to those helping the man and provided instructions so they could continue resuscitation.
Despite their efforts, medical personnel could only confirm his death when they arrived.
The information released does not establish the man’s age or nationality, or whether he was a resident or visitor. The circumstances leading up to him being brought ashore have also not been disclosed.
