A flight attendant of the German airline Lufthansa and another foreign guest died following an incident in the swimming pool of one of the luxury hotels in Bangalore, India. According to local media, the men might have been electrocuted while swimming. The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident.
Lufthansa confirmed that its employee died on Friday during a crew stopover in Bangalore but declined to disclose details of the incident or the identity of the deceased, citing the need to maintain confidentiality.
"We extend our deepest condolences to the family, relatives, and friends of the deceased crew member," the airline stated.
According to Indian NDTV television channel, the tragedy occurred at the hotel's swimming pool on the third floor. Local media reports indicated that the deceased Lufthansa employee was a German citizen, while the other man was Slovak.
During rescue attempts, two more people were injured—a hotel guest from the United States and an Indian employee of the swimming pool. Both were transported to the hospital. Latest reports say their lives are not in danger.
The pool has been closed following the incident. Media reports state it will remain closed to visitors during technical maintenance. Hotel representatives promised full cooperation with the investigation.
Bangalore is a major city in southern India, known as the "Indian Silicon Valley" due to the high concentration of technology companies.
