On the traditional Progreso boardwalk, Police officers showed up when they were informed of the discovery of a body in that area.
Upon arriving at the scene, near the Navy facilities on 74th Street, on the sand a few meters from the seashore, officers found the body of a person, apparently a tourist.
According to police reports, the man drowned in the sea while swimming. The victim has not yet been identified, although he is apparently a man in his 40s.
Around 3:00 p.m., the area near the body had been closed to the public so the authorities could conduct the necessary investigations.
It was also revealed that the man who died was under the influence of alcohol when the unfortunate incident occurred.
Nearby, some swimmers were present and called emergency services when they saw the man was in trouble.
Shortly after, he was rescued and paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) but were unable to save his life.
