A 13-year-old boy died in hospital after Friday's accident at l'Arrabassada Beach, bringing the death toll to two.
The events took place Friday afternoon around 15:30 in a rocky area of l'Arrabassada Beach in Tarragona. Six young people had trouble exiting the water while a yellow flag was flying. Three exited on their own and three were rescued by emergency services.
Of those rescued, a 12-year-old died at the scene and two 13-year-olds were taken to Joan XXIII Hospital in critical condition. One of them died in the following hours.
