His death was declared on the spot
A 60-year-old Englishman died on Thursday morning after suffering a heart attack while walking at Meia Praia in Lagos.
Authorities were warned at around 7.30am that a man had felt unwell at the beach. Members of Lagos maritime police, local volunteer firefighters, INEM emergency services and a VMER resuscitation vehicle were “immediately” dispatched to the scene, says Portugal’s maritime authority (AMN) in a statement.
Attempts to revive the man were unsuccessful and his death was declared on the spot.
The victim’s body was transported to the Western Algarve’s legal medicine office in Portimão by the Lagos volunteer firefighters.
