His condition this morning (Thursday 12 September) was not immediately clear. It comes after a British man is in “critical condition” after being pulled from the sea while enjoying a holiday on the Spanish island of Formentera.

The man was airlifted to hospital after getting into difficulties in the sea off the Spanish holiday island. The 70-year-old Brit was pulled out of the water at Ses Illetes beach by lifeguards who performed life-saving CPR on him.

Emergency responders were able to stabilise the pensioner on the sand before an ambulance took him to the island's hospital. Doctors then decided he should be flown by helicopter to Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza given the seriousness of his condition. It was not immediately clear if he was alone at the time of the near-drowning or with his family or friends.
