A tourist reportedly died Monday after going down a water slide and hitting his head on the concrete floor of a hotel pool in southwest Turkey. Ali Cilga, 65, was allegedly cautioned not to slide head first at an unidentified five-star resort in Manavgat in the Antalya Province, according to local media reports. The June 26 incident was captured on video footage that showed oblivious tourists continuing to swim without noticing Cilga. A man, which The Mirror reported may have been a lifeguard, eventually rushed to the water and pulled Cilga out before performing CPR. He was transported to a nearby hospital before dying. He was reportedly at the hotel celebrating Eid al-Adha, one of the biggest holidays in the Islamic calendar. An investigation is underway, reports The Mirror, with the Manavgat Public Prosecution ordering an autopsy at the Antalya Forensic Medicine Institute.
