Yesterday, at around 1230hrs, police were informed that earlier during the day, at around 1030hrs, the assistance of the Armed Forces of Malta was requested due to some divers who found difficulty.
Preliminary investigations revealed that two male divers, whose identities was not known at that point, were rescued by the AFM via boat approximately 1.4 nautical miles off the coast of Żonqor, Marsaskala.
They were transported to Mater Dei Hospital for further aid, but one of the divers unfortunately lost his life a few moments later.
The other diver continued to fight for his life, but he was later confirmed to have died throughout the night.
It was also revealed that the men were both Polish and were aged 45 and 48 respectively.
A magisterial inquiry has been opened and police investigations are ongoing.
