Details are still unavailable, but an 80-year-old woman drowned at around 2pm this afternoon in Playa de las Américas.
A call was made to the Emergency Services on 112 that someone had disappeared under the water, and while they were arriving, Civil Protection lifeguards brought the woman from the water and tried to give her mouth to mouth resuscitation. When the ambulance arrived they continued to try to bring the woman back to life, but without success. She was confirmed dead before leaving the beach.
