Police reported a fatality that occurred on September 24th in Sunny Beach. A 43-year-old English tourist died after drowning in the sea.

According to information provided by the authorities, the man arrived in Bulgaria three days earlier, on September 21st, and was staying at a hotel complex in the popular Bulgarian resort. The tragic incident cast a shadow over the otherwise lively resort season. Details surrounding the circumstances leading to his death are still being investigated.

The day was sunny, and the sea was relatively calm, although small waves were observed along the shore. Details about the event itself are limited, but it is known that an emergency rescue operation followed. The body was recovered from the water.

Parallel to this tragedy, investigators are also reporting another drowning-related death. In Primorsko, another resort town on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, a 56-year-old man lost his life in the sea waves. Rescuers were notified of the incident by another tourist who spotted a person in distress in the sea. The notification came too late to prevent the fatal outcome.

The bodies in both cases have been transported for autopsy to determine the exact causes of death. Investigations have been launched in both Sunny Beach and Primorsko. The authorities are working to uncover the details and circumstances that led to these tragic incidents. Further information is expected to be released after the completion of the autopsies and investigations. The investigation must determine whether there were any security lapses on the beaches, or if the deaths occurred due to unforeseen circumstances.
