35-Year-Old Woman Drowns at Larnaca Beach - Questions About Lifeguard Staffing
A 35-year-old Romanian woman drowned on Saturday at CTO Beach in Larnaca shortly after 18:00, just minutes after the lifeguard ended his shift. Police are taking statements from beachgoers. Her two daughters (aged 12 and 14) are in Makarios Hospital; the 12-year-old is intubated in intensive care. The incident raises questions about lifeguard coverage times even at official beaches, as some bathers go into the water until late evening.
