An Israeli tourist drowned two days ago (Friday) in Sharm el-Sheikh in the southern Sinai Peninsula.
The tourist spent her time there with her husband.
The Foreign Ministry is aware of the case and is assisting in transferring her body for burial in Israel.
Two days ago, Oren Barzilai, a 47-year-old Israeli resident of Tel Aviv, collapsed and died during a basketball game in Bulgaria.
The game in which he participated took place as part of a basketball tournament for workplaces in which about 400 Israelis from various Israeli companies participated, including Barzilai's girlfriend, Clal Insurance and Finance.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, and he apparently had no background illnesses.

The Foreign Ministry is aware of the case and the local consul is helping to release the body and fly it for burial in Israel.
His family members were notified of the disaster, including his wife who is also an employee of the company, and she and Barzilai have three children.
Following the incident, the Israelis in the tournament stopped participating in the games as a sign of solidarity, and many of them will return to Israel early.
The date of Barzilai's funeral has not yet been set.
