Brit Found Dead in Costa del Sol Marina After Water Rescue

Police are looking into a British man’s death. They found his body in the water at a marina in Costa del Sol. Firefighters took an hour to retrieve the body that floated between boats near Estepona, specifically at Duquesa Port, around 4:30 am on Sunday.

The man was around 60 years old. Emergency responders tried to revive him but pronounced him dead at the scene. Civil Guard officers are investigating the incident.

Sources say there were no obvious signs of a crime. A post-mortem exam will occur to provide more details about what happened.

An official confirmed the man was British and that they are investigating his death. Right now, it looks like an accident, but it is not clear if he owned a boat there. Emergency services reported finding a body at La Duquesa port in Manilva after getting the alarm before 4:30 am Sunday.

Local police, Civil Guard, and firefighters all responded, and they pronounced the man dead there. In January, another British man died; his body was found floating in Calpe, north of Benidorm. This also looked like an accident, and he was 53 years old.

He lived on a boat he moored there and came from Altea. Officers said they recovered his body, and specialists tried to save him but failed. Duquesa Port sits between Sotogrande and Estepona, with bars and restaurants filling the area.
