A British pensioner has died in Spain after parts of the country’s southwest were rocked by a year’s worth of rain in just one day.
The man, 71, died in hospital after being rescued from his Malaga home, the leader of the Andalusia regional government Juanma Moreno has said.
On social media, Moreno wrote: “He was suffering from hypothermia and died after suffering several cardiac arrests.”
The number of people killed by the extreme flooding now stands at at least 73, according to local authorities.
