A British mum has died in Corfu after she and her husband reportedly struggled to achieve the shore while swimming within the sea.
The lady and her husband had been swimming off Roda Beach in northern Corfu in Greece on Wednesday, while their 16-year-old son was on the shore, when the tragedy happened.
Based on some local news outlets strong currents and bad weather made them lose control, while others say they were swept out towards a rocky area.
The daddy was pulled to safety, and he and the son had to observe as rescuers battled to rescue the mother.
She was eventually pulled ‘unconscious from [the] water’, reports Corfu Press and rushed to a non-public clinic, where she was sadly pronounced dead.
Her body was then transferred to Corfu General Hospital, where the son and husband got first aid and psychological support for shock.
The husband reportedly sustained minor injuries.
A post-mortem is planned to determine whether she was killed by drowning or if she sustained a fatal blow from the rocks she washed up on.
