A body has been found during a search for a teacher from Nottingham who was swept out to sea while on holiday in Bulgaria. | |
Ethan McKen, 24, was at the Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach, when he was hit by a wave and could not get back to the shore, a family member told the BBC. | |
He had been on a Club 18-30 holiday. | |
The UK Foreign Office confirmed the death of a British national in Bulgaria and said it was providing consular support to the family. | |
'True gentlemen' | |
A spokesman from Club 18-30, which is owned by Thomas Cook, said one of its customers staying at its Sunny Beach resort went missing on Saturday morning. | |
Local police stopped people entering the water while the search was conducted. | |
Mr McKen's family have travelled to the area, the spokesman confirmed. | |
A second person, who also got into difficulty, is recovering in a local medical centre. | |
Mr McKen was an amateur footballer and played for Bulwell FC reserves in Nottingham. | |
A coach at the club, Andy Radford, said Mr McKen had made an impact despite having only joined a few months ago. | |
Mr Radford said the defender was a "true gentlemen" and "always gave his best". |
