Brit festivalgoer, 31, drowns during Croatia’s Dimensions festival after wandering into the sea ‘for a bath’
The 31-year-old drowned off Puntizela beach in Pula where he was partying with friends
A BRITISH holidaymaker drowned during a music festival in Croatia after wandering into the sea for a "bath".
The 31-year-old man was attending Dimensions in the popular coastal city of Pula when he was found dead.
A coroner confirmed he died from drowning at Puntizela beach.
His body was sent to a local hospital for a post-mortem to figure out the circumstances of his death.
The festivalgoer was partying with friends when he decided to have a bath in the sea and never came back, police said.
Croatian cops arrested four other British citizens for selling drugs at the same festival.
Local prosecutors told The Sun Online: "An autopsy on the body of a British citizen who died on the beach in the Puntizela area in Pula, Croatia was carried out by the competent state prosecutor's office.
"The cause of death will be known after performing toxicological examination and histological analysis."
Authorities hope the tests will establish any other circumstances that may have led to the drowning.
