Series of deaths in Florida 5 tourists die on vacation beach in 4 days

Florida is shaken by a series of deaths: five tourists drown on a beach within four days.

The extreme heatwave in Greece claimed several lives last week. Most of them did not return from hikes.

A series of deaths is also currently occurring in the USA: Panama City Beach in Florida has experienced a tragic series of incidents in which five people have died within four days.

The latest victim is a 60-year-old tourist from Missouri who was on the beach with her family on Sunday. Family members noticed that the woman was unresponsive in the water and immediately pulled her ashore, as reported by theNew York Post. Despite quick help from rescue workers, the woman died in hospital. The Bay County Sheriff's Office confirmed the incident.

19-year-old also drowned

Three friends who had checked into their accommodation shortly before drowned on Friday. A rip current caught all three, and first responders and helicopters searched for over two hours for the missing men. Sheriff Tommy Ford praised the efforts of the rescue workers: "The courage of the first responders was incredible." Unfortunately, these three men could only be recovered dead.

Another tragic accident occurred on Thursday: a 19-year-old man was also caught by a current and drowned. Rescue workers pulled him out of the water, but he later died in hospital.

According to the New York Post, the young man was a talented footballer. His team mourned on Facebook: "Today we lost one of the most extraordinary children to come through our program."

All five deaths occurred when red flags were raised to warn of extremely dangerous conditions in the water. These flags signal to swimmers that entering the water is life-threatening, even if the sea appears calm.
