Civil Protection of the Generalitat reports that a 46-year-old man drowned last night on the Fenals beach in Lloret de Mar when he was dragged by the waves while trying to rescue his dog that had fallen into the water.

The 112 emergency telephone number in Catalonia received at 9:09 p.m. yesterday a call from a person alerting that a man had fallen into the water.

Firefighters from the Generalitat went to the beach and located the victim's body, unconscious, in the area of ​​rocks where the waves break.

Despite the fact that they performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers on him, those responsible for the Medical Emergency System (SEM) could only certify his death,

The ambulance took the victim's companion to the Blanes Hospital as he also suffered injuries.

In addition, psychological support was activated for the relatives of the deceased.

Agents from the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Civil Guard also went to the beach, who are in charge of the proceedings opened for this death at sea and who must report to the guard court.

On the other hand, Civil Protection of the Generalitat maintains the alert of the INUNCAT Plan due to the accumulation of rain in the Alt Empordà and Terres de l'Ebre as well as due to the maritime storm with waves greater than 2.5 meters that will continue until Wednesday throughout the Catalan coast.

According to the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (SMC), rainfall may accumulate more than 100 l/m2 in 24 hours in Terres de l'Ebre in the coming hours, so extreme precautions are urged on the beach when there are strong waves and do not approach the groynes.
