A 42-year-old man has died after being found floating in the sea in the Boca Cangrejo area of El Rosario, Tenerife, leading to the activation of emergency services.

The lifeless body of a 42-year-old man was recovered from the water on Thursday afternoon, June 4th, off the coast of Boca Cangrejo, in El Rosario, Tenerife. The incident occurred around 7:20 PM when the 112 Coordination Center for Emergencies and Security (CECOES) received an alert stating that several people had pulled a man out of the sea, who was found floating face down near the coast.
Following the alert, CECOES promptly mobilized various emergency resources.
