A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency response coordination centre said late yesterday: “The emergency services have recovered the lifeless body of a man found in the water at La Duquesa port in the municipality of Manilva.
A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Alicante said at the time: “I can confirm we have recovered the body of a 53-year-old British man from the water at Calpe port.
Emergency responders could not save the man, said to be aged around 60, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
In January a British man’s body was found floating in the water at a marina in Calpe north of Benidorm following a suspected accident.
Firefighters spent around an hour recovering his body after it was spotted between boats at popular Duquesa Port near Estepona around 4.30am on Sunday.
