A British man died afer being pulled unconscious from the sea in front of his horrified partner on Tuesday, according to reports.
Local media said the man had been swimming in Yeroskipou, a town near Paphos, when he suddenly fell ill and lost consciousness while in the sea.
Emergency services were called and brought the man ashore, where they administered CPR, according to InCyprus.
He was taken by ambulance to Paphos General Hospital, where he later died.
The Standard has contacted the Foreign Office for comment.
It comes just days after the family of a boy who died after being found unconscious in a pool in Paphos last month paid tribute to their “beloved and beautiful” son.
Ruaridh Nairne, 6, from Inverness, died in Paphos General Hospital on October 14.
A touching tribute, shared by the family through funeral director D Chisholm and Sons, reads: “It is with profound sadness and unimaginable pain we announce the passing on the 14th October 2023 of our beloved and beautiful Ruaridh (Roo), whilst on holiday in Cyprus. Cherished and adored son of Fiona and the late Peter. Protective and the most wonderful big brother to baby Archie.
“So much more than a nephew to his incredible Aunty Sandra. Very much loved by Ann, Granny Carmen, Big Archie, Hayley, Lauren and Michael. Also a cherished grandson, nephew, cousin and best friend to so, so many.”
