A 70-year-old man tragically lost his life yesterday afternoon (Monday) after suffering a heart attack shortly after exiting the water following a scuba diving session at Charco del Palo, a popular diving spot on the east coast of Lanzarote.
According to the report from the Emergency Services Coordination Centre (CECOES), the incident occurred at around 1:50pm, which is when they received an alert and dispatched the relevant resources to the location given.
The alarm was raised through a 1-1-2 emergency call, reporting that the man had collapsed after completing a dive and was in a state of cardiac arrest. Two ambulances as well as officers from the local Haría police and the Guardia Civil, were dispatched to the area.
Paramedics responded quickly and performed both basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an attempt to revive the man, but despite their efforts, they were unable to save his life, and his death was confirmed at the scene.
The police have initiated the necessary investigations into the incident.
