A boat trip and a swim in the sea off the northern Italian resort town of Lignano Sabbiadoro turned disastrous for an Austrian tourist.

The 47-year-old had rented a boat with his wife and set off for the nearby island of Marinetta. There, he jumped from the boat into the water but felt unwell. Shortly thereafter, his body was floating in the sea - his wife alerted the rescue services.

47-Year-Old Died in Hospital

The rescue operation was conducted by the coast guard in Grado under the coordination of the operations center of the rescue center in Trieste, as reported by local media. Coast guard boats were immediately dispatched to the scene, while medical personnel from the emergency service arrived from land to provide initial medical assistance.

Thanks to several adrenaline injections and the quick intervention of the lifeguards, signs of life were initially detected in the man. However, after being airlifted to the hospital in Udine, he eventually passed away there. Meanwhile, the man's wife, who was in shock, and the rented boat were brought back to Lignano by a coast guard inflatable boat. Initially, there was no information about the exact origin of the Austrian.
