Later the same day a Dutch tourist died after hurling himself off a cliff in a tombstoning stunt in front of his partner and two children.
He was later named as a former footballer called Mourad Lambrabatte.
A post-mortem revealed he had drowned in a state of semi-consciousness after hitting the water rather than dying from impact injuries caused by smashing against the rocks as initially believed.
