A BRIT teen died after suffering a cardiac arrest on a beach while on holiday in Ibiza, a court has heard.

Jude Harvey, 19, from Southend-on-Sea, died on July 23 after spending two days in hospital.

Essex area coroner Michelle Brown concluded at a short inquest that his death was the result of an accident.

The court heard how his step-sister saw that he was unresponsive while in the sea.

Ms Brown heard how there wasno defibrillator on the beach but his step-sister performed CPR while waiting for an ambulance.

Mr Harvey suffered three cardiac arrests on the beach and on the way to Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza Town.

He was in intensive care for two days but was not responsive due to a "lack of oxygen to the brain".

His family told how he was a "strong swimmer" who did not drink or take drugs.

Pathologists in Ibiza gave a cause of death as tissue anoxia – an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues – and suffocation by submersion.
