The notorious Greek party island of Zante has seen a number of tragic deaths this year, with similar instances of Brits being dragged unconscious from the sea (file image)<\/p>\n
Earlier this year another British man, 20, died after falling into a pool at a well-known club on the notorious party island.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old was at the Karma Beach Club in Laganas, Zante, in June when he lost consciousness in the pool, ERT Zakynthos reported at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the bar staff reportedly spotted the man face down in the pool and alerted a lifeguard.<\/p>\n
The lifeguard pulled the man – who was described in local news either as British or Irish – out of the water and gave him CPR, but he was pronounced dead after being taken to the local hospital by a private ambulance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
