A 70-year-old man has died today after being rescued from a hotel pool on London Street in the Tenerife municipality of Adeje. Despite the efforts of emergency teams to resuscitate him, the victim was unable to survive.
The incident occurred at 11:39 this morning (5th). According to the Emergency Coordination Centre and Security (CECOES) 112, they received an alert stating that hotel lifeguards had pulled a swimmer from the pool who was in cardiac arrest and were performing initial resuscitation efforts.
