An elderly man of Bulgarian origin met a tragic death on Wednesday afternoon in Xanthi, in the area of ​​Skala Abdira when he drowned in the sea while trying to save his grandchild.
The incident happened around 7 pm when a grandfather and grandson, who rent a house in the area, were on the beach. The little boy was in the sea with a white inflatable mattress, but he was carried away by the currents and wind and drifted away.
Immediately there was a mobilization to save the child and two men using a canoe approached him and managed to get him out safe and sound. At the same time, the grandfather of the little child, seeing his grandson running away, ran into the sea trying to save him.
However, it seems that his strength left him and he died in the sea. After bathing, they took him to land and notified the EMS. Until the ambulance arrived, two volunteers gave him CPR, but it was not possible to save him
