Russian tourist drowns in pool

 

A 30-YEAR-OLD Russian tourist was found drowned on Thursday in the pool of the house she was staying at in Ayios Tyhonas, Limassol.

An autopsy carried out yesterday showed that the cause of death was drowning and that her body did not suffer any outer injuries, ruling out the possibility of foul play.

Police said that one of the owners of the house was sitting with her by the pool but then went inside for a few minutes. When she came back out she found the 30-year-old floating unconscious in the pool.

Initial tests determined that she had been drinking heavily, police said yesterday.
