Tourist from Germany perishes due to choking incident at a restaurant in Mallorca, surrounded by family, as he struggled for more than an hour.
In a heartbreaking incident, an 82-year-old German tourist lost his life while dining with his family on August 30, at 13:55, at a popular restaurant in Port de Sóller, Mallorca. The restaurant, located directly on the beach at D'en Repic, was bustling with tourists on this busy summer day.
The tourist was enjoying a steak on the terrace when he choked on a piece of meat. His family raised the alarm, and lifeguards immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver in an attempt to dislodge the foreign object from his windpipe.
Despite the heroic efforts of several ambulances, the local police, and the use of oxygen and a defibrillator, the tourist could not be saved. The incident occurred in full view of horrified witnesses, who watched the dramatic rescue attempts unfold.
The tourist's death has left his family and friends devastated. The waiter of the restaurant was praised for his empathetic behaviour towards the relatives during this difficult time.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine whether the tourist suffered from suffocation or a heart attack. In a similar incident that occurred in April, another restaurant patron on Mallorca choked on a piece of meat and died.
