GES rescuers transported the affected woman to the nearby Benijo beach where the SUC medical helicopter had landed, and medical personnel continued advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts but were regrettably unsuccessful, confirming her death.
The teams deployed at the incident site cooperated in managing the situation.
A rescue helicopter, Tenerife Firefighters, the Canarian Emergency Service with a medical helicopter, Beach Rescue, Maritime Rescue, Local Police, National Police, and the Civil Guard were all involved in the operation.
