British couple die in tragic holiday incident on Grenada’s Carriacou Island
A British couple has met a tragic end during a holiday on Carriacou Island, Grenada, prompting concerns about tourist safety in the region.
A British couple has tragically died during a holiday on the Caribbean island of Carriacou, part of Grenada. David John Foster, 77, is believed to have had a heart attack while in the sea at Paradise Beach. His wife, Rosaline, 76, reportedly died trying to save him. The incident occurred with the couple being found in distress on the beach; Mr. Foster was declared dead at the scene, and Mrs. Foster was pronounced dead after being taken to Princess Royal Hospital.
The police have suggested that Mr. Foster’s heart attack initiated the tragic sequence of events, leading to Mrs. Foster’s likely drowning as she attempted to assist her husband. An investigation into their deaths is ongoing, and the UK Foreign Office has been contacted for further information.
The incident adds to recent concerns about tourist safety in Grenada, following a suspected yacht hijacking that resulted in the deaths of an American couple, marking a series of tourist fatalities on the island. Autopsies are awaited to provide more details on the British couple’s demise.
