The incident concerns a beach in Guardamar de Segura, a town in the province of Alicante, Spain. EL PAÍS reports that the two people died as a result of drowning.
According to the Spanish newspaper, both people were rescued and brought out of the water.
EL PAÍS also reports that resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
The information available does not indicate the identities or ages of the victims. Nor does it specify which beach in Guardamar de Segura was affected or what time the events took place.
The date of the drowning is not established by the material provided: October 4, 2026, is the publication date of EL PAÍS’s report, not a confirmed date for the incident.
The account of what happened is therefore based on EL PAÍS’s report, which links the deaths of the two young people to the drowning and reports the subsequent failure of resuscitation efforts.
