Drama this morning in the waters of Portoscuso: a man died during a freediving underwater fishing trip in front of the Spaniards' Bay.
He probably fell ill while he was underwater and there was nothing that could be done for him. The body was seen floating by swimmers on the beach, who carried it to shore and alerted the emergency services.
The man was wearing a wetsuit and was equipped with a marker buoy.
The 118 doctors who arrived on site could not help but confirm his death. The victim's details have not yet been released.
The Portoscuso Coast Guard is investigating the case.
