Pedro Antonio Espinosa, the 82-year-old man who died this Wednesday on the beach near the royal residence of La Mareta, was "in very good shape" and went swimming for two hours every day of the week, according to La Voz. The deceased was the father of Enrique Espinosa, the new manager of the Consortium of Security and Emergencies of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, who took office this same month of October.
The victim used to swim always on the same beach from 12:00 to 14:00. Apparently, he may have suffered a heart attack that ended his life. It was some bathers who raised the alarm around 14:45, when they communicated to the Coordinating Center of Emergencies (Cecoes) 112 that they had located the lifeless body of a person floating in the water "ten meters from the shore".
Thus, it was the bathers themselves, according to these sources, who moved the corpse of this man to the shore of the beach. Both the Civil Guard and the Local Police of Teguise went to the scene.
The ambulance did not go to the beach, since in the notice itself the bathers communicated that the man, 82 years old, had already died.
