Omagh is in Northern Ireland. From Tyrone News, Tyrone Sport, your local newspaper - Omagh man dies while scuba diving in Tenerife – Ulster Herald
AN Omagh man has died during a holiday in Tenerife, after he reportedly suffered a heart attack while scuba diving. Jozsef Orsos (50), originally from Hungary but who had been living locally for the past three years, had been diving off the coast of Los Cristianos last week when the cardiac arrest struck.
When the alarm was raised, he was lifted unconscious from the water by life guards at the nearby beach, the Playa de Las Vistas just after 1.30pm.
However subsequent efforts to revive the stricken diver were in vain. Local and national police and an ambulance attended the scene but paramedics pronounced Mr Orsos dead at the beach.
“It was a big shock to everyone,” remarked Mr Orsos’s former employer in Omagh, Colm MacRory from Spires Art.
