Tragedy struck in Xanthe on Sunday as a 12-year-old drowned at sea, when he went swimming with his parents and older brother at the Myrodato beach.
While in the sea, the 12-year-old asked for help, with his father and older brother rushing towards him, however the strong currents and high waves swept the boy away.
The life guard managed to save the father and older brother, but was unable to locate the 12-year-old boy. The Coast Guard later recovered the body of the 12-year-old and launched an investigation.
