A BRIT pensioner has been found dead on a sun lounger by beachgoers in Greece.

The 74-year-old tourist was found unconscious after he reportedly fell ill following a swim at a popular beach in Crete.

Officials quickly rushed to Stalis Beach at around 12pm on Sunday, July 20 after being alerted of the elderly man’s state.

Hellenic National Center of Emergency Care (EKAB) said they tried to revive him but he was pronounced dead shortly after they arrived.

The Brit is said to have gone swimming in the sea before returning to the beach to have a sit down on a sun lounger.

He was then hit with a “strong feeling” of sickness before slowly losing consciousness, Cretapost reports. 

His official cause of death is yet to be confirmed.

An autopsy is now due to take place in Crete.

The Sun has contacted the Foreign Office for comment.

It comes just weeks after another pensioner died on his sun lounger.

The 73-year-old Brit was reportedly found in Agia Paraskevi, Skiathos by horrified beachgoers.

A local doctor tried to revive the man for 40 minutes but was unable to do so.

In June, another Brit tourist died in Greece after he went swimming.

The 68-year-old holidaymaker was found dead after he lost consciousness in the water off the island of Rhodes, local media reported.

Officers from the Central Port Authority of Rhodes rushed the man to the Archangelos Health Centre.

He was sadly pronounced dead just hours later.
