Dramatic scenes in southern Rhodes: A 77-year-old Austrian was apparently pulled lifeless from the water at his hotel in Lindos. The lifeguards immediately started the heart-lung massage to bring the pensioner back to life – but all help came too late for the holidaymaker.
The Austrian was pronounced dead in hospital. Days later, the big bang: According to the autopsy, the man did not drown – but died from the effects of his chest injury. Brought about by the revival on the beach.
Manslaughter charge pending
The motivated first responders apparently overlooked a fact relevant to survival: The victim may have been unconscious, but he didn’t stop breathing. The lifeguards are now threatened with a lawsuit for manslaughter, the act is up to the judiciary.
Tragedy for holidaymakers also on the Italian island
On the Aeolian volcanic islands north of Sicily, an Austrian actually went into cardiac arrest. There was no rescue for the 80-year-old.
