I have not heard anything about this at all – but it’s in the news.
MANILA, Philippines – A German citizen drowned after suffering a heart attack while swimming in the waters of the popular tourist destination Boracay Island, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported Monday.
Reports reaching PCG headquarters in Manila said Harmut Endemann, 63, who was billeted at the Luna Resort Beach, was seen swimming some 10 meters away from the shore when he suddenly vanished from sight around 3 p.m.
Personnel of the PCG Boracay detachment immediately mounted a search and rescue operation and recovered the unconscious German floating a few meters from shore.
Endemann was rushed to the Don Ciriaco Seneres Memorial Hospital in Barangay Balabag, Boracay but was pronounced dead on arrival due to cardiac pulmonary arrest resulting to second degree drowning by attending physicians. (Anthony Vargas)
