Tourist dies in swimming pool

A 69-YEAR-OLD British tourist died in a Paphos hotel swimming pool on Sunday after suffering a heart attack.

Albert Hadley was pulled out of the hotel pool at about 11am after he lost consciousness in the water, police stated yesterday.

“He was given first aid, but with no result. He was then taken by ambulance to a private clinic, where, despite doctors’ efforts, it did not prove possible to revive him,” the police statement read.

Police said there were no external signs of injury on Albert’s body and there was no suggestion of foul play.

An autopsy carried out yesterday showed the tourist had died of a heart attack.
