A BRIT tourist has died while on a sun lounger in a Greek paradise island – with horrified beachgoers discovering his corpse.

The 73-year-old man was reportedly found by fellow holidaymakers in Agia Paraskevi, Skiathos, on Friday, before they quickly alerted a lifeguard.

Emergency services were then called after the lifeguard attempted to perform first aid on the Brit.

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

The man’s cause of death is currently unknown.

But an autopsy is already being carried out to determine the exact cause.

The UK’s Foreign Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Earlier this month, another Brit tourist died at a popular Greek island.

The 68-year-old holidaymaker was found dead after he reportedly went swimming and lost consciousness on the island of Rhodes, local media reported.

Officers from the Central Port Authority of Rhodes rushed to the scene of the incident at the popular tourist spot of Lindos.

The man was rushed to the Archangelos Health Centre, but was sadly pronounced dead.

And last August, a 71-year-old Brit tourist was pulled unconscious from the sea in Greece.

The woman was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead after being found near the town of Gouvia, Corfu.

The tragic death came after another female Brit tourist was pulled form the waters in Greece.

In July 2024, a 66-year-old was swimming at Achladies beach in Skiathos and reportedly lost consciousness due to the sweltering heat.

She was soon found by a lifeguard, who pulled her out of the water onto the shore.

The lifeguard and a doctor at the beach performed CPR on the 66-year-old as she was rushed to Skiathos Health Center, but were unable to revive her.

It also comes after a Brit dad died while on holiday in Turkey after being escorted off a plane for being drunk.

Builder Ben Crook from Caerphilly, South Wales had been in Antalya with his partner and two kids to celebrate his 32nd birthday.

But he was escorted off their flight due to behaving erratically on the plane after drinking alcohol.

He was separated from his family, who went to the hotel.

But the dad died from a fall before he made it there to join them.
