Mexican officials say two Canadians swimming at a beach known for its strong currents near the resort town of Cabo San Lucas died after they were swept to sea by a powerful wave.
Authorities say 63-year-old Dale McDouglas and 54-year-old Linda McDouglas were swimming at Divorce Beach with several relatives when the wave dragged the couple out into the Pacific Ocean.
Family members waved down nearby boats, one of which took Linda McDouglas aboard.
Paramedics at a nearby beach started resuscitation, but McDouglas was later declared dead at a local hospital.
Authorities say the Mexican Navy pulled Dale McDouglas’ body from the ocean.
