The death of a tourist in Córdoba
Less than two weeks ago, in the middle of a summer season full of visitors, a tragedy shocked the residents of Traslasierra.
A 43-year-old tourist from San Luis drowned in a river in the Cordoba town of Nono.
The event occurred in the Posta del Remanso spa, which has a coast on the Río Chico.
As the victim's partner told the police, the man went swimming and after a while did not surface.
Desperate, he began to call for help.
As reported by La Voz, the municipal lifeguards who were on the scene summoned police personnel and rescuers from the Department of High-Risk Units (DUAR) and the Technical Team for Catastrophe Action (ETAC).
The notice came around 7:00 p.m. on Sunday.
It was the police who found the sunken man at a depth of about three meters and dragged him to the surface.
There the emergency personnel tried to revive him with CPR, but the tourist no longer had vital signs and did not respond to attempts to save him.
