A pair of elderly visitors died while swimming in private and municipal pools in Spain, with incidents occurring in Calp and Torrevieja. The autopsies are expected to determine whether drowning or another cause contributed to the deaths. Information is based on statements from sources close to the investigations and official updates from local authorities.
The first death involved a 78-year-old man. He was found by his son around 10:30 p.m. on a Monday at the pool on the family property in Calp. Emergency responders arrived, but resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, and the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Local authorities were notified, and the case was handed to investigators to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.
judicial commission
A Civil Guard officer arrived at the scene to report the death to the court on duty and to authorize the removal of the body as part of the judicial procedure. The development marked the opening of a formal inquiry into the events surrounding the death.
The second death occurred this Wednesday morning in the Los Balcones urbanization of Torrevieja, involving a 72-year-old woman who died after falling into a pool. The woman’s partner raised the alarm, but medical teams could not revive her. The incident prompted a rapid response from local emergency services, followed by the initiation of investigative steps by the relevant authorities to determine what happened.
Both cases are under official review, and autopsy results will be released to clarify the causes of death. Until then, officials emphasize that preliminary reports do not imply foul play and that routine procedures are in place to document pool safety and residency conditions in the affected communities. Inquiries continue as investigators gather evidence from the scenes, interview witnesses, and examine pool maintenance records and environmental factors that could contribute to such tragedies. Authorities urge pool owners and residents to remain vigilant about safety measures and to report any concerns to local officials as the investigations unfold.
