Brit man, 74, fighting for life after being pulled from sea off coast of Majorca by lifeguards

A BRIT is fighting for his life after getting into difficulty while swimming off Majorca.

The 74-year-old is in intensive care after being pulled from the sea by lifeguards at the beach in Sant Elm.

He was spotted struggling in the water by the lifeguards and was unconscious when he was pulled back to the beach.

Off-duty health workers who happened to be on the beach at the time assisted the man.

The pensioner thankfully regained consciousness and was taken by ambulance to the Palmaplanas health centre.

He remains in a serious condition, reports Murcia Today.

Local media did not confirm if the man was living in Majorca as an expat or was there as a holidaymaker.

It comes just weeks after another Brit, 78, died after getting into the difficulty while swimming off Majorca.

The incident occurred at the Can Pere Antoni beach, which is a mile east of the island's capital Palma.

The beach where it happened was packed at the time and police reportedly used sun loungers to cover his body so it wasn’t so visible to locals.
