The incident resulted in four deaths, including two Romanian and two Slovak citizens, and one person remains missing. Local authorities, including Millito Navarro, mayor of Santiago Del Tiede, are conducting rescue operations and have urged the public to heed safety warnings, as the pool had reportedly been closed due to rough sea conditions.
