Teenager, 16, drowned after being stabbed by weaver fish on the neck

A teenager has died after being stung by a poisonous weaving fish from a Costa beach.

A first post-mortem in the death of the 16-year-old has concluded that he went into anaphylactic shock, which could be caused by the poison that released the fish.

The body of the unnamed boy was recovered from the sea from the popular resort of Playa d’Aro on the Costa Brava 70 miles north of Barcelona.

His parents sounded the alarm after he disappeared while snorkeling.

He is said to have left a small wound in his neck, close to Adam’s Adam, and marks on his face that were inconsistent with a normal drowned one.

An autopsy has pointed to a fishing rod that is behind his death, although forensic experts are still awaiting the results of toxicology tests.

Investigators have released a video recording that said they contained footage of the attack, which the teenager’s parents attributed to a type of tissue fish.

The fish has been locally identified as a spotting tissue.

Ordinary fish stings can be very painful and lead to swelling and salvage of the foot and are known to trigger heart attacks as well as severe allergic reactions.

They usually sting people’s feet because they have spent most of their time buried in the sand, and embed their spines when they release their venom.

An enormous blast that started last month in a hut at Bournemouth beach was started after a boiler was boiled to treat a suspected tissue stick.

Hut owner Fiona Tew, 36, told how it fell into flames at the time after she began dehydrating water to treat her young cousin’s pain and after cold water was taken from another tap.

The Spanish boy at the center of the fish tragedy comes from Montagut i Oix, a 15-hour drive from Playa d’Aro, where he lost his life.

Although he was not named, his parents released a statement saying the video handed over to police shows the teenager found a salt marsh 100 meters from the beach when he snorkeled, which ‘took him to a strange and colorful fish with a harmless-looking face. ‘

They said in the statement, carried out by local press: ‘He could only film it at a distance for 30 seconds and at the last second it disappeared and bit him around the jaw area. ‘

Weaving fish are found in both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Oceans, and in summer they are often found off the coast.

Beau Gillet, an RNLI lifeguard supervisor, said earlier this month: ‘I have seen adult men crying in pain’ after a warning was issued to stranders after hundreds of sticks were connected to a British heat wave.

Lifeguards in Cornwall treated reported more than 70 people in just one week before the stake.

Recommendations for treatment after a sting include soaking in hot water and removing the stitches from the skin with tweezers or a bank card.

Playa d’Aro is a short drive north of Sant Pol beach, where a member of Spain’s Paralympic swimming team was forced to jump out in May.

Ariel Schrenck went to a meeting after hearing her mother roar from the shore when she saw two told fins and saw the animals coming in his direction.

The 19-year-old, part of the Spanish team that competed at last year’s World Para Swimming Allianz Championships in London, was currently training.

He told a Spanish TV interviewer after his shocking experience: ‘I stopped for a moment to catch my breath when I saw my mother crying like a crazy woman.

‘I felt terrible panic at that moment and started swimming like crazy. I think it’s the fastest 100 meters I’ve ever done. ‘
