An Irish tourist has died after falling into a river in Seville, Spain.
The 58-year-old’s body was removed from the Guadalquivir by firefighters after emergency services were alerted to a man falling from the Isabel II Bridge by witnesses late on Saturday night.
Efforts were made to revive the man after he was taken from the water but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation is ongoing but Spanish police sources said they were not treating the Irishman’s death as suspicious.
