British senior tourist dies in suspected drowning at Mallorca's Puerto de Pollensa

Paramedics arrived at Puerto de Pollensa in northern Mallorca at about 5.30 pm after a 69-year-old British tourist was found unresponsive in the water. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful, and he was declared dead on site. Authorities plan a post-mortem examination this weekend to establish if the cause was drowning or a medical condition such as a heart attack.

The Guardia Civil have launched a probe into the circumstances and will submit a report to a local court. The tragedy occurs just a month after another British visitor drowned off the Catalan coast after jumping from a ferry. Both incidents highlight safety concerns for tourists engaging in water activities in the region.
