A 72-year-old man has died after being found unresponsive in the water off the Welsh coast.
Emergency services rushed to the scene at Morfa Nefyn on the northern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd at 5.21pm yesterday.
The air ambulance also attended the incident and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the man's death is not being treated as suspicious, North Wales Live reports.
No further details about the identity of the man have been released at this stage.
A police spokesman said: "We received a call at 5.21pm yesterday (Wednesday) from colleagues at HM Coastguard requesting assistance after a 72-year-old man had been located unresponsive in the water at Morfa Nefyn.
"The air ambulance also attended, who sadly confirmed the man had died.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious, and the local coroner’s office have been informed."
In a separate incident, a man died on a beach after he was pulled from the water despite desperate efforts of helicopter medics and surfers last month.
Medics were said to have fought for more than an hour to resuscitate the man while his family looked on.
Coastguard rescue teams were joined by a search and rescue helicopter on Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth), near Abersoch, on Friday, August 6.
They responded to a 999 call from a member of the public reporting three people in difficulty in the water, North Wales Live reported.
The beach, known for its on-shore winds and difficult swimming conditions, is popular with surfers and water sports enthusiasts.
