Two British tourists have drowned on the coast of a popular tourist city at the southern end of the Gran Coral de Barrera.
A 17 -year -old boy, and a 46 -year -old man, were dragged into the sea on Sunday while swimming on a beach without lifeguard in seventeen seventies, a city in Queensland bears the name of the year of Captain James Cook in Australia.
The couple was declared dead on the scene after being removed from the water by a police rescue helicopter.
An Australian man is also in a condition that thank him for life after being dragged into the sea, and was transferred by plane to the hospital with serious head injuries.
While the police revealed that the deceased were from the United Kingdom, their names have not yet been released.
“Sunday’s mission was difficult,” Crescue, the emergency rescue service that found the three men, shared on social networks, adding that the deaths had occurred “despite the best efforts of all involved.”
Police say that the wounded Australian man was mono, a city of about 150 kilometers inland of seventy seventy.
“We are not sure that the third person jumped into the water trying to make a rescue,” said Darren Eeverard de Surf Life Saving from Queensland to Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
There is only one beach patrolled by lifeguards within a radius of 50 kilometers or seventeenth seventy.
Police are treating drowning as not suspicious and will prepare a report for the coroner.
One hundred and seven people drowned in Australia last year, with 25% of them born abroad, according to Australia’s real life.
The coastal deaths of Australia occur mainly around streams and promoters in the high tide when “it is chaos in the water,” Eeverard explained.
Speaking to ABC, he encouraged tourists to “seek local knowledge” and swim in the flags.
