A South Korean TV technician accredited at the Olympics drowned late on
Friday while swimming in an Athens seaside suburb, police sources said.
The Greek coast guard
identified the victim only as a 36-year old foreigner, but police sources said
the man worked for South Korean state television and stayed in the coastal media
village near the Nea Makri suburb.
"He went swimming after having a dinner with two other
Koreans in a cafe near the beach," a police source said on Saturday.
Other swimmers pulled out the man shortly after 8 p.m.
(1300 EDT) and he was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
This is a second fatal accident during the Athens
Olympics after a British pedestrian was hit by a Danish sailor driving in a
special Olympic lane.
