A 35-year-old man drowned while swimming in the Hinterm Horn lake in Hamburg-Allermöhe on Sunday.
Witnesses had observed how the 35-year-old went down in the bathing lake and dialed the emergency call. The fire brigade searched for the man with divers and was able to pull him out of the water after about half an hour. Paramedics and an ambulance tried in vain to revive him. Why the man went down is still unclear.
Another swimming accident in Bergedorf
There was also a rescue operation in the Bille-Bad in Bergedorf on Sunday. Bathers pulled a submerged 47-year-old woman out of the water before rescuers arrived. According to the fire department, she was responsive and conscious, but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
The German Life Saving Society advises caution when bathing in the summer months. Only on Saturday did the fire brigade pull the body of a 39-year-old man out of the Elbe. He went under a week ago while swimming in front of Övelgönne.
