TWO tourists drowned in separate incidents just over 24 hours apart — an 85-year-old man in Bimini and a 28-year-old man on Paradise Island.
In the first incident, police in Bimini reported the alleged drowning of an 85-year-old man who was snorkelling off Ocean Cay around 10.40am on Wednesday.
Police said the man became unresponsive while in the water. He was brought to shore, where CPR was unsuccessfully administered. A doctor later pronounced him dead.
Authorities said a 28-year-old tourist drowned near a resort on Paradise Island around 1.30pm.
The Tribune understands that the person was taken to Doctors Hospital for medical attention following the incident.
