Maldives police are investigating the death of a Chinese tourist, a resort confirmed Tuesday.
The victim, reported to be a 27-year old man, was snorkelling in the lagoon of Finolhu resort when he ‘collided’ with a boat propeller. His companion, a 24-year old woman, was injured.
“We cannot share information because there is a police investigation,” the resort told the Maldives Independent when asked for a statement. “We cannot say anything.”
Police made no comment Sunday, when the grisly incident occurred, about the accident or the injuries.
