Police are looking into the circumstances surrounding the death of an elderly American tourist on Sunday.
The tourist, said to be 89 years old, collapsed whilst enjoying the morning at Jolly Beach.
It is believed he may have suffered a medical crisis which resulted in his death.
After his distress became evident, other people enjoying the beach rushed to help.
Medical help was sought after he developed the issue, however it was too late as he had passed away.
The yet unidentified man was formally pronounced dead on Sunday at 12:39pm.
The man and his wife arrived in Antigua and Barbuda at Heritage Quay on Sunday morning aboard Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas.
They were both due to depart the country to continue their holiday on Sunday evening.
Last Monday, Canadian national Ian Wilford died after encountering difficulties in the waters off Ffryes Beach.
During a diving expedition in which he was joined by his wife Julie and a small group, Wilford complained that he was suffering from an earache.
The group continued diving, however, when they returned to the surface, Wilford was missing.
They launched a search to locate him, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
The Antigua and Barbuda Cost Guard were called in to join the search, along with two French helicopters.
Their efforts were also fruitless.
In the end, it was an Urlings diver, Shane Tonge, who came to assist in the search for Wilford who discovered his body, fifty-five feet beneath the surface of the water.
