New details have come to light about the tragic accident that occurred on Sunday on the beach of Durrës.
The 34-year-old British tourist, Sylvester Obeg, who lost his life in a maritime accident in the Kavaja Rock area, has died as a result of asphyxiation in the water.
The forensic examination has confirmed the cause of death, while his 31-year-old friend, who was on the motorcycle with him, has been released from the hospital in good health.
According to hospital sources, the 31-year-old British woman underwent full medical checks and remained under observation for 24 hours in the internal diseases ward of Durres hospital.
She described the dynamics of the incident. After renting a jet ski, during a high-speed maneuver in deep water, the vehicle overturned, trapping the 34-year-old man underneath, who, despite wearing a life jacket, was unable to survive.
Meanwhile, in connection with the incident, Durrës police arrested the tourist operator who offered the watercraft, on charges of violating occupational safety regulations.
He had allowed the victim to drive the motorcycle without the appropriate license, endangering the lives of his clients.
Investigations to fully elucidate the incident continue.
