An elderly tourist who was pulled unresponsive onto an Isle of Wight beach is the latest to die as the UK tackles sweltering temperatures.
The man, aged in his 70s, was given CPR after being found unconscious at a beach in Sandown on Monday.
Ambulance services, including an air ambulance, police and Coastguard rescue teams all rushed to the scene while the Ryde Beach Lifeguards also tried to help the man.
But despite working for 40 minutes to try and resuscitate him but he was declared dead at the scene.
Ryde Beach Lifeguards posted on Facebook: "This afternoon our Beach Lifeguard team at Sandown responded to an unconscious non breathing casualty to the west of Sandown pier.
"The casualty, a tourist in his 70’s, was pulled from the water, with the team performing CPR as well as using the AED. Shortly backed up by Paramedics, Coastguards, the Air Ambulance and the Police.
"The team and emergency services worked on the casualty for approximately 40 minutes, before he was declared dead at the scene.
"We cannot thank everyone enough for the support and fantastic team work from all emergency services involved in the incident. Everyone worked seamlessly together, and gave their all to try and save the gentleman’s life, but it was not to be on this occasion sadly.
"Our sincerest condolences go out to the gentleman’s family and friends."
It comes after the Emergency services and the Government has reiterated urgent warnings about the dangers of trying to keep cool after several tragedies in waterways and reservoirs during the heatwave.
