Saddening news has been released this afternoon of the death of a Dutch couple near Lagos Marina.
The couple died today just after noon after they apparently fell from their balcony at the Fábrica tourist apartments near Lagos Marina.
According to the police, the incident occurred around 12.15 pm and the deceased were a woman and a man, 58 to 57 years old and both were Dutch.
The local police have passed the case on to the Judicial Police who will determine the circumstances surrounding the 20 metre fall and issue any further statements although valuable items were found undisturbed in the apartment and there are no signs of an assault or a fight.
The INEM and Fire Brigade services tried for an hour to resuscitate the couple but they were declared dead at the scene.
