A British tourist has reportedly died on a Greek island in a freak accident while tying up a boat. The Mirror reports that the man was mooring his boat on the island of Nimos when it happened.
The boat captain, 30, was attempting to moor the Captain Denise to a rock at around midday on Tuesday when he slipped and fell. He was reportedly knocked unconscious before being dragged out of the sea by his three passengers.
A rescue boat was sent to the scene and the man was taken to the nearby island of Symi to be treated in a medical centre. Despite the efforts of medics, he died while they were preparing to transfer him to a larger hospital, according to local media reports.
